Thank you all - it's great to get input from people with so much experience (several people said they 'only' have several hundred hours, you have probably forgotten more than I'll ever know about it!). Great tips, so I just need to get them into my head for next time

LowNSlow - the Jodel does have a steerable tailwheel. It's generally very easy to control on the ground, although I haven't mastered the art of the effortless turn through 90 or 180 degrees with just a dab of brake and burst of power that my instructor manages. The slowing down bit we've discussed is the only bit that really causes me trouble.

Chimbu Chuckles - great tales! I searched for you on PPRuNe, found plenty more. Sounds like you've had an interesting career!

I have got a copy of Langeweische, but I have never liked it much. I don't know why, as so many people think it is great. I also have Harvey S. Plourde which I really like - however, I seem to forget parts of it when I really need it...

Thanks again to one and all!
