I own a little L-21 ex-army Super Cub, 1953 vintage.
That toy gets airborne at 30-35 mph, one notch of flaps, ground effect.
I fly it often to/from a country airfield, no marked runways or taxyways.
Like helicopters can do, I "taxi" sometimes at 5-10 feet height...

Get current 3 landings/90 days during taxi. Objections...?
Saves wear on tyres, in any case.

Happy contrails
