After about 1000 hours on taildraggers, I would strongly discourage anyone new to Xwinds from attempting 3 pointers. Wheeling it on with into wind aileron gives much better control and lowering the tail slowly gives maximum rudder availability.
Exactly...unless there is a airplane specific reason you should not wheel it on....

...and after around 10,000 hours of tail wheel time I have yet to fly one that could not be wheeled on.
