And after you mastered the 3 pointers comes the wheelers. Wheelers were/are a problem for me as I'd got so used to pulling the column/stick back at the flare like what you do with both tail-wheel or nose-wheel aircraft. With a wheeler you have to very consciously push forward; all very alien. And of course the other thing you need to be aware of is judicious use of brake and rudder combination to keep it straight on take-off and the roll out. At least with the Jodel you can see over the nose. Any way good luck with your conversion.
