I have thought for a long time that a taildragger with steerable main wheels should not have ground loop tendencies and should be very easy for crosswind landings as it could actually touch down crabbing with no need to kick it straight just prior touchdown. It would need a tiller to maintain its crab on the ground but steering with rudder pedals would automatically straighten it when the wheels are lined up just like we all do in a xwind landing.

Well I see now Plane Driven has done exactly that with their road able aircraft.

Would a tail wheel endorsement still be needed?
