did the lot in a howling crosswind 800ft cloudbase and rain actually!
I had over a thousand hours at the time of conversion so general handling came pretty easily. Approaches wing down crab or otherwise are not any different. It was the ground handling that focused the mind, putting it on the deck in three points or a wheeler was nothing compared to controlling it when I put it there. When a dragger is off the deck it is no different to any other plane.
I don't consider myself a tailwheel demon anymore than I consider myself a trike demon, weightshift demon, instrument demon or otherwise but neither in the couple of hundred tailwheel hours I have flown since have I had to many close calls..... But there is still time of course!
