Funny enough, I flew a taildragger this week-end (Robin DR221), made two
nearly perfect landings on tar, followed by a very ugly one on the grass
strip back at the base.
As a KR2 pilot, I tend to overcontrol a lot on landing (quick and wide
motions on the stick) while on grass, but not on tar. Go figure...
Hey, one more training session to go, then I will be allowed to present to
the exam, and if I pass, I will get a nice, European PPL to replace my
expired South African one! Then I will HAVE to finish the KR2 to use that
licence!

As tail dragger pilot, I prefer to land on grass, my worst landings are on
ashpalt.

Subject: Re: KR> Nose Gear question
Does that mean it takes a better pilot to land a nose gear on grass than
a
taildragger pilot and a better pilot to land a taildragger on asphalt or
concrete than a nose wheel pilot. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....we may be on to
something
here...
