The shorter the landing zone the longer the final if room available.
You want time to make things right and established on a short landing, a long final will give you the time to do that, stall warning on final? Depends, I am making a video about that matter next, with backcountry instructor Milne CC Pockock from Bush air ,Cory Robin and Jughead Counsil.

What a beautiful shot (at 6:11) of the approach for the wheel landing! Great lighting and camera work. And thanks for the food for thought regarding long finals.

Very nice landings. When you are turning left base on that second landing are you skidding the turn? It might just be camera angle but it looks like your yoke is turning to the right as you are turning left. I can't see the ball well in the shots. DENNY

Was a coordinated turn, maybe camera angle?

Awesome video!

Denny, I don't use the ball at all but rather the smoothness of lateral nose movement and neutral butt feel. In slip we load the low butt cheek. In skid we load the high butt cheek. The ball will be all over the place in rapid steep turns as in crop dusting or Dutch rolls, but the nose is as smooth as silk and the energy management turn feels good. We also push the nose around a bit, skid, to miss stuff with the nose down and near to the ground or wire where the wing needs to be level. I also saw the yoke move right a bit, but that would have been a slip since the nose was moving left. We all have muscle memory from autos about using the yoke when we don't need to. The bank steepening is not a problem if we don't pull back more on the stick to increase wing loading. If she over banks, we can just lessen the bank sooner as the nose is coming onto target. Banking too much early and then taking some bank out later is a good technique to prevent overshoot. As with any bank, we need to allow the nose to go down naturally until we again have the wing level.
