Am I the only one who doesn't care or take any notice of direction of travel of MR ? I regularly jump into both types and most of the time would have to think which way they go . Depending on weights and wind, the amount , and sometimes even the pedal you need can change . Getting light on the skids is always a good thing as you can check T/R effect before lifting ...which can avoid embarrassment!!
Ps. I trained in and taught in the 300 and loved every minute
