I have a question! I don't have much tailwheel experience (6 hrs) and my 

last flight in an RV-6 upon landing, the aircraft danced on the main wheels 

back and forth several times in a slight crosswind. Is this an inherent 

problem with the RV aircraft, or will all tailwheel aircraft do this if you 

are fast or don't roll in all the aileron upon landing?

The main difference is the directional control. Ya gotta keep the wing 

down into the wind in both configurations.
