Thought I'd throw this in again.
Now before you flame me, the aircraft was empty and I've only done this a couple of times.
Wheeler landing with full flaps. Slowed down with brakes, little power on, tail still up in flying position, slowed to taxi speed (tail still up) and turned off runway onto taxiway (tail still up), taxied a short distance and then GENTLY lowered the tail as I came to a stop.
Even the tower operator stopped mid-sentence.
Don't flame me. But it does look good. Power against brakes
