my pennys worth ,i think the ideal situation for landings for a lot of =
conditions is to land at a speed just above the stall ie the flare =
should should just stall it just slightly above the ground .
however in many taildraggers they cannot achieve this because the stall =
angle of the wing cannot be achieved on the deck because of the =
tailwheel usualy being too high ,in that situation you will always land =
fast and a lot of the time tailfirst.
landing fast carries with it many problems , long stopping distance more =
reliance on brakes etc etc=20
tong bingelis covers this in his books .
got to get the angle right either by raising the main wheels of lowering =
the tailwheel usually
