A nice grass strip, it harkens back to old days when a flat field was home. No runway markers, just take off and land into the wind.
(Trouble is, when it rains or snows, flight ops can be shut down for weeks. Been there, done that...)
But back to it (grass) went to Creve Coeur (1H0) yesterday and used their parallel for some landings, 3 point landing guys would have been proud.
I came as close to 3 pointing it as I can without dragging tail. Felt good indeed. Don't have the nerve to do a full aft stick 3 pointer as the tail wheel will touch first, rather undignified, unimpressive way to land any airplane.
Am evolving to a technique of what I did yesterday on grass and wheel landings on hard surface. At least that where it is as of today.
