Hi,
Better late than never..
Ignoring wind considerations
3 pointing is the slowest you can land a tail dragger.
If you try to land at a higher angle of attack then you can fly slower possibly
by as much as 5mph, it's what happens next that is interesting :(
Tail wheel touches and AOT decreases sharply, lift decreases and the wing
stalls. You drop from a foot or so like a sack of spuds.
Depending on your u/c springs, various things can go wrong, including broken
prop.
I think you should always aim to land at about 3pt + 5mph
