why do those Alaska bush pilots use the wheel landing to win the short landing contests in the Super Cubs?
As I was training tailwheel to a pilot just this very morning, I was thinking about this question...
I have never nosed over. I notice that a few of the "Alaska" pilots have, while trying to land very short. So, I won't copy that! I accept that greatly skilled pilots can balance the forces of brakes against up elevator, and maybe some propwash - but that exceeds my skills! I have lifted a tailwheel off a couple of times doing hard braking, and it made me nervous, so I don't do that anymore!
