    I won't disagree with Floog's statement (well maybe a little) but what he didn't tell you is that he is a master at wheel landings. I don't believe I have ever observed one of his landings where the tailwheel touched the ground until the last minute at very slow speed. If you consistently land like he does, a wheelchair caster would work fine as a tailwheel.
