Has anyone else had this sort of problem with a taildragger at walking pace?
Not the same, but many years ago at Gloucester I was flying a Tiger Moth, they would not let me taxi on the grass, as I weaved the nose the tailskid caught on the rather thick paint of the centreline which then pulled the tail round and I ended up on the grass anyway!

I presume it was therefore hard to land unless you wheeled it o
Well, if you watch Rapides land you will see them wheeled on, not hard to land, just a question of right technique for type!
