I didn't vote because for me it depends.
With the small engine, I was tail heavy and it was difficult to wheel land.
Now, with the large engine up front, it is difficult three point and loves to wheel land.
Like the others, my wheel landings are tail low.
Tony hit it right on the head, I use 55 Kts solo and 60 Kts with two on board.
The -9 wheel lands so nice but the challenge is getting thing to slow down before pinning the tail or you will find yourself flying again with decaying airspeed.
