As an instructor I see students turn the control wheel as they pull in back on landing. With an airplane like the Taylorcraft if you are accidently giving right aileron the airplane will yaw left. Otherwise tire pressure, brake adjustment, or alignment could be an issue. -
I never found my old BL or our 41 Deluxe to be difficult to wheel land. In fact I find it easier to wheel land that to make a nice three point landing....Leave a comment:

You shouldn't have told me that. After a 1000 plus hours flying short nose Taylorcrafts I just found out they don't wheel land well. I probably wheel land at least 50% of the time, and have never found it difficult. BTW, I don't think I have ever flown a long nose one....Leave a comment:

Take it up and stall it and see what indicated speed it stalls at, then multiply by 1.5. That should be close for your approach speed for a normal landing. I like to bump it up by 5 mph for a wheel landing approach. For a short field landing fly the approach at 1.3 stall speed.Leave a comment:
