Foxmoth, a couple of pages ago you opined that my description of a fully held off landing as a stall a few inches from the ground is "a commonly held misconception!"
There has a lot of discussion on this over the years, I have done a lot of stalling and landed many Tailwheel aircraft, Stalling on most aircraft I first reach the light buffet as the indication that I am approaching a stall, the only times I have had light buffet on landing has been when I have got it wrong - and even this is not actually AT the stall, just incipient. You will also find in most aircraft that you can land tail first - so how can a proper 3 pointer be stalled? If you get it right though, a good three pointer will have lots of drag and you will be decelerating and running out of lift FAST as you touch down.
