I've not flown a Maule, and only have about 250 hours in tailraggers, so Mr Maule may have the advantage of me, but myself, I think you aren't competent in any taildragger until you are fluent in both 3-point and wheeler landings in it.
I have never flown a tail wheel airplane that could not be wheel landed.
I would never check out any pilot in a tail wheel airplane unless said pilot was competent in both wheel landings and three point landings.
Not sure I would agree with that. There are some types that are better landed 3 point or tailwheel first. I'd never think of using a wheeler for my Jodel or Cub. Others might be different though
