Thanks for the tips, will let you know how it goes.

I've found it was easy to milk the power for wheel landings and kind of fly the airplane onto the ground...in a tailwheel other than the Twinbee.

The Twinbee isn't really supposed to do wheel landings (because of the gear) so we always have to three-point it..... but if you do a go-around you don't push the nose forward like a normal taildragger.. you actually pull back - so I guess it's different for each aircraft. We just have to make sure that tailwheel is locked... because if not it's a rodeo (it actually unlocked itself once - it was interesting)
