Cub, Beaver or Skywagon, I like a wheel landing for those conditions.

In my 185, that I've had since 2000, I also use 20 flaps, brakes to aid directional control as necessary and raise the flaps at touchdown so the rudder doesn't blank when the tail drops. The Micro Aero VG's on the vertical also noticeably contribute to directional control. A tail low wheel landing also contributes to enhanced visibility for directional control on a narrow strip.

This should be interesting. Arai installed in the event of .
