After flying a tailwheel for several hours the nosedraggers are a piece
of cake.  I've managed to make two "perfect" three pointers in the
last few hours in the KR.  They weren't intentional but happened when
I flared a foot or two too high and held it off when it started to settle.
I guess that proves it can be done but I had little if any wind.  The
visibility over the nose is near zero at that point so a three pointer
is not as comfortable as a smooth tail low wheel landing.  With any
crosswind I'll do wheel landings and then plant in on with forward
stick.  Let us know when the first flight gets close.
