Short (wet?) grass strip - Back of the drag curve, three point attitude and chop the throttle just as you stall on was the only way I could get G-AWHY (Falconar F11) onto my strip. Maybe on a firm surface a wheeler might have worked and I guess it would give more chance of a go around if things went pear shaped (though heavy braking in that particular aeroplane would probably have caused a swing due to it having not the best set up brakes).

So I still say circumstances and type are everthing when it comes to short landings!
