An "experienced pilot" is not necessarily the best tailwheel pilot. Anyone who watched the unfortunate commercial Jet jockey trundling down the runway at Woburn a few years ago, only to take the lovely old Gypsy Moth for a swim in the lake off the end of the runway will realise that. It's all down to practice on type and a good instructor.
My tip is to seek out Pete Thorn and have a few hours dual with him.
I swear he could teach a Banana to three point a winged wheelbarrow!!
Although I suppose technically a wheelbarrow has tricycle gear.... Oh well
