They weren't intentional but happened when I flared a foot or two too high and held it off when it started to settle. I guess that proves it can be done but I had little if any wind. The visibility over the nose is near zero at that point so a three pointer is not as comfortable as a smooth tail low wheel landing. With any crosswind I'll do wheel landings and then plant in on with forward stick.
Larry I went through the same response about low visibility in three point configuration. The thing that made the world of difference was just to slip all my approaches all the way through round-out. At first its a lot to remember but after a short time it becomes second nature. In fact I will now slip any bird I fly in approach just because it gives such a good view of the runway. In the beginning I just practiced approach and round-out slip at altitude until I got the feel of how she responds. Btw the craft become very pitch sensitive in a slip so an extra lite touch is required on the stick. Ps I should have my thrown plug head all welded up and machined today so I will be joining you in the air soon. best wishes Joel ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! ------
