Short Stripper:
HI.
I normally post only when I think my thoughts may be of value to someone.
This part of Pprune is where the inexperienced go to discuss things.
Having spent my life in aviation and now sort of trying to retire I don't mind taking a few moments to post advice.
I have not flown all the tail wheel airplanes out there but I have flown a very wide variety of tailwheel aircraft.
I have not to this point in time flown one that could not be wheeled on, however there may be some out there somewhere, I just haven't flown it yet.
I can however list several that we very seldom if ever three point for instance the Beech 18, Anson Mk5, DC 3, Grumman Turbo Goose and C117 to name a few. I have over seven thousand hours in the airplanes listed, plus seven years on Aerial Application tail wheel singles and God only knows how many other singles over my career.
So when you re examine the method that I use to teach on tail wheel airplanes it should be apparent that this method is based on trial and error to find the most effective teaching process.
One more suggestion that you may reflect on....
The wheel landing not only gives you better control authority at touch down to maintain directional control or go around, but there is also the added advantage of having the option to be in a better position for differential braking to assist directional control in real hairy x/winds.....
If you lose directional control at touch down in the three point attitude everything goes to hell so fast you do not have time for controlled braking.....
Just something to ponder over..
