Yes Kurt, I know wht you mean. Back in my dusting days we might do 100
landings, all greezers, then spong it all over the home base strip...with
all the early homers watching!!

Heck, I only mess up in public. Like my best landings
no one ever sees. But the day I got a crowd.... I hit
that little dip in the grass runway squarely and
bounced 7 times. (Never over a foot high, but bounce,
bounce, bounce...)
Or the time I tried to do the 1/2 flaps landing on
pavement and dump the flaps to make it stick trick.
Yanked up instead of pushing down on the handle.
Straight up 10 feet, hover? Then a nice recovery
while the next plane could hardly talk for laughing
over the radio.
Forgiven, but not forgotten Guy

Even worse. Without my knowing it, my FAA examiner
moved to the airport community where I had my plane in
KY. Saw him several months later. Thumbs up on my
flying and testing, but letīs not talk about the
landings he saw....
Luckily I didnīt fly a pax that wanted to go when I
was still testing, or I might have had a more serious
discussion with the FAA. Pax was an insistant
mechanic and pilot friend, but I was not going to
compromise, or risk a testing incident. Never know
who is watching.... but that is my excuse for the bad
ones he saw.  Theyīll screw you up even when you
donīt know they are watching.....
And I agree with the glasses discussion. Bifocals,
not graduated lenses! I am so blind now I canīt even
read what I am writing. Got to build another plane
while I can still see to do it.

Try landing with the door open. It's easy to see how close you are to the ground that way.
Good luck,
Dick

[quote] I am new at taildragging and am having a problem doing three point landings in that I am stalling out a litte too high each time and bouncing. I attribute this to being used to a 172 where I physically sit higher because of the bigger plane. Is it best to try to land with a little power like in a wheel landing then backing off the power and pulling back on the stick after the main gear is on the runway or maybe even just continue with a full wheel landing?
