...and still working at it.
It's getting easier but still manage to screw one up now and then.
The best condition is 10 knots of headwind, the worst is 5 knots of tail wind. Cross winds are in between.
I cannot three point this airplane, it relaunches every time unless the wing is unloaded with forward stick as it touches down. To get it slowed to just above 51 knots (stall), the tail wheel will touch first and it will do a pogo dance with mains.
A touch down on mains is above stall every time, the aircraft will relaunch easily unless the wing is unloaded with a bit of forward stick.
So, I wheel land it all the time. That's easy once you figure out where the runway is.
