That said, I won't be landing my Maule with a tailwind,
quartering or otherwise.

I don't really like doing it, but we did land in tailwinds routinely
whilst towing gliders at one glider club I towed for. On busy days we'd
do the downwind landing to cut turnaround time for the next tow.
This was in a Pawnee.

Fortunately, the field was grass and 300 feet wide which helped mitigate
some of the groundloop risks.
