Veetail88 Well Known Member Apr 17, 2017 #2 No. Only RV-8s, 7s, 12s, 14s, and 10s can handle it. Sorry.

All joking aside, YES, it's smooth enough for any RV model, whether a nose-dragger or tail-dragger. Now that doesn't mean the runway is smooth...it sucks. But a good flare does keep your wheel boots from rattling excessively. See the 1:20 point here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UazVSNkSZEE
