Re: poteroo's reply to WIZZ post 100

As I read your post the light went off. I owned a C-120 which was O-200 powered and had a Scott 3200 tail wheel no flaps of course and 8.50X6 tires. A real hodge podge to say the least. I could never three point comfortably and couldn't figure out why until you mentioned the flat attitude with a Scott tail wheel. In order to land with the tail high enough the speed was to much. To much speed, especially on asphalt or concrete, with the big tires was to frightening. On grass, gravel, sand, etc and short distances the speed was very low but the tail was too. It didn't seem to matter on skis.
