Ramjet 555 is on the money.
Only difference is wheeler landings were prohibited from memory in the flight manual of the Decaths I flew unless it was added as a company limitation.

1. Easy enough with experience in Decaths and as instructor.
2. No

I'd also advise against flying from the back seat unless you are instructing and approved for rear seat instruction on the type (required where I worked).
Looks very different from back there on takeoff and landing, taxiing etc let alone the front seat has most controls and instruments in view.

Legal mine field these days if something goes wrong and you weren't sitting where you should.
