If you ever go to a KR Gathering, you will see that most, if not all, of the conventional gear KR pilots land tail low and raise the tail as soon as the mains are on the pavement. Many years ago, a very long time KR pilot gave me that advise. It did not really stick until on one landing, I got a little sloppy and allowed the tail to come down, before I could not keep it up any longer. The plane immediately became airborne and I ground looped. 3 point landings in a KR, require absolute precision with little to no room for error. If you are looking for a little forgiveness on that first landing, plan on doing wheel landings. Do this until you have complete control over your airspeed and feel totally comfortable with the plane. Then you can experiment with 3 pointers.

I am scared to start with wheelers because of the sensitive pitch.
