Hello all,  I was just checking out the list and had to make a post about the fellow getting a check ride and having difficulties with landings....Go back to your primary flight training and remember that proper landings begin with holding the aircraft at three point attitude plus a little more...it does not matter whether its a trike gear or tail dragger the same rule applies...three point plus a little at landing....so this means that proper landing flare is three point plus ..so the tail wheel would touch down slightly first and as the main gear touches down, the angle of attack decreases and the aircraft will stay on the ground....conversely if you touch the mains first and then the tailwheel the angle of attack increases and the aircraft will return to the air and then the pilot induced oscillation starts....as you become more proficient you will be able to touch all three wheels at the same time and then move on to wheel landings...25 year pilot
95% taildragger time...flying a Glasair 1 TD
Now on to my issue...I am building a 5 outback and will be installing an 0-200 cont....any prop recomendations as well as exhaust....leaning towards an IVO magnum two blade....would like to keep things light as I am building for light sport.  Great forum and good advice....GARY

I have some landing on my Videos here you could search through
http://www.youtube.com/user/kitfoxflyer

Some here for sure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j7aBw90n9U

I never really pay much attention to how I land on mains or all three or even on one main. Too much fun flying these Kitfox to think about that stuff Smile

Hope these help

Dave

Only problem with your videos is I tend to spend a half hour looking the
rest of them again... and again...and again

They're like chips, one is never enough.

Keep posting.

Gary,
Check out the new Sensenich composite prop.I saw it at Sebring and SNF. It is really neat ! It would be ideal for the O-200. In fact if my Warp heads south,that's what I will be installing.
