I concur with Randy...three point it or hit the tailwheel first and it's done flying, period. It's very controllable that way. That very thought occurred to me this afternoon when I decided I was going to try to wheel land it just to remind myself how that goes. It was squirrelly and I thought "that's why I keep thinking it's so easy...I just three point it or hit tailwheel first and it's a non-event, rather than landing faster and trying to stay on top of it and keep it going in the right direction". Of course you have to put your concentration into speed control, but given a long enough runway, that's dirt simple...just fly along a little above the runway until it quits flying. I do it on a 2600' runway and only brake slightly to get stopped by the far end. Or you can fly it onto the runway and figure out how to get rid of all that energy while staying in one piece...
