((very humbly: I am a low-time microlight pilot myself, and am only reporting from hearsay. Take these words for what they are worth - i.e. for what you paid for them!))

Two separate issues:
1) taildragger flying - that's to say, landing a taildragger. Lots of opinions available, no use my adding a single word.
2) this particular type of plane: I heard several comments, from people I have seen landing Piper Cubs perfectly in bad crosswind - that the Fox and its various descendants behave meanly at low speed. As I recollect, they have a bad reputation for suddenly dropping one wing just before touchdown.
