kabz statement was that the aircraft ATTITUDE was a fully stalled one, as I pointed out, this is NOT the case - you would end up much to nose high.
He (she?) also said that because of this landing a trycicle gear and a tailwheel is the same - not so - it may work on a flight sim, but in real life there are some differences - the 172 will be a much lower attitude, if you try and hold off as much as a taildragger you risk banging the tail, landing a taildragger the same as a 172 you will do the reverse and probably bounce.
Having said that, if you fly taildraggers you will usually be ok going to nosewheel, going the other way will take a lot longer.
