Default RE: Taming a Tiger (2)

All I can say is that I find landing tail draggers and tricycle planes are the same, I really do not get why people say both planes take off and land that much differently. Only thing I find about tail draggers is that you are best off keeping your ELE up when you just touch down to help keep it from toppling over. For me I just watch the plane and do what it takes to make it land.

Scotty - I used to be nervous about wind ... I then learnt the joys of flying on a windy day. Its fun learning to read the wind changes, how to ensure that you do not stall when you turn into down wind. I seen a few people who turn too slow down wind and that was the end of their plane.
