Tail wheel pole

The peanut gallary at my airport seams to frown on wheel landings.

What's a peanut gallery??!!

[WWhunter]

LOL...Peanut gallery normally refers to all the 'NUTS' that 'think' they are the authority and all -knowing people that always have something to say about someone or something. I also call them computer commandos since they seem to get all their answers from the internet, doesn't matter if the answers are right or wrong......but they read it on the internet so it must be true!!

I land three point 99 percent of the time. Every once in a while I make a wheel landing just to make sure I still know how. I haven't figured out how to wheel land without using some power and or extra speed. To me it just seems like the extra speed at touch down isn't a good thing.

On the other hand, wheel landings do provide good practice and development of skill. The peanut gallery is most likely just jeallous.

Hi,
I wheel land 70% of the time on my dirt strip, I find it more difficult to three point especially if you are carrying too much speed at the thresh hold !

These birds do like to keep flying.

After more hours and practice , three points are easier, speed needs to be right for a nice short one, with no "hops".

the peanut crew. good one. I have them here also. My thought, do the wheel landings from now on, that's what I'd do, just to **** the pee nuts off.
