Recently flew with a great guy that took me on my first RV trip(awsome) and he asked if i planned on making it IFR after saying yes he said well then you won't want to go tailwheel. It just got me thinking is all. So i figured i'd ask some peps with some more time then myself

I'm afraid I'm with Mel on this one, Adam. When you pop out of the soup at decision height (or above) you land like any other flight. Wouldn't matter to me one way or the other how the wheels were laid out on an IFR-ship.

Landed on ice with a 90* xwind in Danny King's taildragger a couple years back (I was a pax). My confidence in TW aircraft went through the roof after that...
