More good stuff Greg. I know that spot. Nice to have ABW there. The wx was sure nicer than expected. Got my annual done and the Maule is almost good as new.
Daryl was with me and I told him it was a good place to test his new 31's at, he landed and said I don't like that. I asked how much pressure he had in them and found out they were at 8 (to much) should be around 5 I told him. He also still has the stock 3200, a tailwheel landing will feel pretty awful on softball size rocks if you don't keep the tailwheel off the rocks until you come to a stop. Something else to buy
It always cracks me up how long ABWs spin after TO.
I find the small pitching moment as they first touch down and start spinning, or worse the yawing & pitching motion if one touches first, less fun.... Still doesn't feel quite right.
