Compass Calibration for Taildraggers

Reading your documentation details for the ground and air compass calibration left me with a question concerning tail wheel airplanes.  What is the ground calibration procedure for an airplane that is by nature on a tilt?  Specifically, how does one do the 540 degree turn-about on the compass rose?
Thanks..

Since the EFIS measures the pitch of the aircraft, we take into account this pitch and apply it when doing the calibration.

In other words, you don't need to do anything special for a tailwheel aircraft. Just do the ground manuvers as described and everything will calibrate fine.

Can't help you with seeing over the nose during the manuvers though...
