Default RE: Taildragger Landing Technique

The 4-star is so forgiving, regardless of the weather conditions, this problem still comes down to technique and experience.
I want to add that while there is more to think about, You will find flying a tail dragger wonderful. It is sort of like the difference between driving a car with a stick shift, and one with an automatic transmisison. You have to think of truly controling the airplane all of the time including on the ground. It also gets you really thinking about the rudder. Easing in and out of the elevator and knowing just how much rudder to hold in and ease out of as well to keep your aircraft going straight.
