Oh Boy, I guess I went and did it again. ( comment on flying tail wheel airplanes. )
Rather than argue on and on about this subject I would just like to comment one more time about why I have the opinions I do on this subject.
I learned to fly on tail wheel airplanes in 1953 and have about ten thousand hours in tail wheel aircraft form a tiny little early 1920's Powell Racer biplane to the Douglas C117.
I never flown a tail wheel airplane that I couldn't wheel land, but there were several I did not three point such as the Beech 18, Grumman Turbo Goose, Anson Mk5, DC3, C117 to name a few.
One of the reasons I did not three point those airplanes was due to the difficulty in keeping them straight on touch down.
So in my opinion I personally would not even think of checking out a pilot unless they could demonstrate the wheel landing and do so with precision.
In fact I teach wheel landings first then the three point.
Remember the above is only my opinion and each of you are free to do as you think best.
