It depends

As Bose-X said it should depend on the type of aircraft you are flying, for instance if you try to three point a DH rapide you will drop a wing due to tip stall and wreck the aircraft so that type you have to wheel on.

The Extra 300 is an aircraft that can be three pointed without a problem in the touchdown but if you are flying a mid wing extra you can see three tenths of naff all ahead in the tail down attitude.

The Chipmunk is just happy to do whatever you want but like the Extra the view is a bit limited if you three point it when flown from the from the back.
