Very true statement Larry. I have slammed my tail on the runway more than once and the tie down ring on my tail bears the wear to attest to the fact. The first time my tail hit first, there was such a loud bang that I thought I had actually broken something back there. Thankfully not. After that, I painted the bottom of the tie down ring red just to see how long the paint would remain there. It did not take long for me to wear it off till I finally learned how to land the tri-gear without hitting the tail. Never have stalled it onto the runway.
