Default Nailing the Landing...

Thanks for the advise on the wheel pants Devo. Not sure if it's a drag thing, or just my inexperience with taildrager landing. Though I don't seem to have a problem with my Sig SE on landings, it has never wanted to nose over, it has pants too. I think part of my problem with the two landings of the Skybolt is that I was coming in very parallel with the ground. I should try and hold the nose up slightly, but I was very unsure of it's stall speed so I had been coming in rather fast and flew very level to the ground.
You know, maybe I should take a day off from work this week just so I can practice nailing the landings ! Better go check the weather page to see what the rest of the week is looking like....
