Does anyone have any words of wisdom on how to land a PA-18 (90hp, flapless) consistently without scaring oneself?
I have flown a number of tailwheel types, and am in current solo practice on various Jodels (D113 and D140). Generally I don't have any problems. Once they're down they stay down and swings are easy enough to correct with rudder.
The Cub, however, seemed unduly prone to bouncing (even when I thought I'd held off properly), and - worse - I found it very hard to correct a swing after landing. The rudder alone didn't seem to do much, and I found the heel brakes were very hard to operate and not very effective.
Any ideas?
Other than the landing problems, the Cub was fantastic. Flying at 70mph with the door open on a warm evening was one of the nicest aviation experiences I've had in a long time.
