you need a few hours armchair flying. Get it firmly fixed in your mental
autopilot that you must not land until the tail wheel is on the ground.
Then, as soon as you feel it touch, Stick Hard Back. Now, concentrate very
hard on keeping it straight, you need to spot and correct any yaw the
instant it happens, which it will.
If, or should I say when?!? you land mainwheel first, you must continue to
fly the airplane until it stops, much harder because the effect of the
ground adds more variables
