Hi Chuck
I'm currently learning to fly a Pitts. Could you possibly go into some detail on why wheelers in cross winds are the way to go please.
In the Pitts i'm currently 3 pointing on, then lifting the tail to lower the AoA thus lift, which seems to settle her on nicely. This seems to be a common technique amongst pitts pilots.
i haven't had a chance to try a wheeler in strong cross winds but would love to learn about why i really should be trying it soon, especially if it makes me safer!
