Watch out when you first land on tarmac, much less forgiving of any sideslip.

ZA speaks the truth. Beware any greaser in a Pitts, because on the law of averages means you're due a howler shortly thereafter.
Still, it helps if after said howler on a narrow tarmac runway with a more-than-sporting crosswind on your less-than-favourite side (and said runway has pointless pointy stick things lining the edges) to have a Laser driver at the hold to transmit a cyptic "Six" over the radio, the number in question being the number of bounces it takes to get the brute firmly stuck onto the runway.
