Hi Fitter2,
I would like to take issue with you on a couple of points. I agree that Cubs (and the Citabria family) are relatively docile, since they have steerable tailwheels. Anything with a castering tailwheel, including the Chipmunk, can be much more of a handful, to the point of making a "compleat" fool of the pilot
Concerning crosswinds, I have flown Scouts for many hours at gliding fields in gusty crosswind conditions and have almost* never had any problems with taildown landings. Not three-pointers of course - two-pointers on the upwind main-wheel and the tail-wheel.
* There was one occasion late in the landing run, when a wing lifted alarmingly. A thermal taking off - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
