I certainly concur with the comments on the Hornet Moth. In the air, it is a wonderful gentleman's conveyance and a delight to fly but in the landing phase it is certainly a handful. Add to all the previous comments a braking system that applies full brake differentially with the use of full rudder - even when selected fully off! - and you have a recipe for acute embarrassment.

The answer is to always 3-point her, use grass where possible, restrict the crosswind and do not try to land with more than 25 galls (UK!) of fuel onboard.
