AAhhh the joys of commenting on these subjects.

When I take the time to give my opinion on these questions I do not make any statement without first making sure I am giving the correct information.

Most agree with my suggestion of finding someone who understands how to teach on a tail wheel airplane instead of just any flight instructor who thinks they know how.

I have been teaching people to fly tail wheel airplanes for over fifty years and can't even remember the different types of tail wheel airplanes I have flown....of all the different types I have flown I never found one that could not be wheel landed.

The reason I said of the two types of landing the wheel landing is the best is for the simple reason that a wheel landing gives the best control in a x/wind.

So based on safety I will choose the wheel landing over the three point if one is to have a choice.
