I don't think you will ever see a tidy Pitts landing, it is just that sort of aircraft and considered by those on the warbird fraternity to be one of the hardest taildragers to land.

I have always been of the three point school but this is because I have flown aircraft such as the DHC-1 & Extra 200 & 300 and these aircraft are quite happy with the three point technique, some older types don't like this as they tip stall in the three point attitude usually with very unfortunate results, hence one always wheels these aircraft onto the ground.
