Default Flaps on take-off and landing

Even then, you really only want enough speed to keep the tail flying, no?


It's been quite a few years since I flew a J-3, but I seem to remember there
being enough airspeed when the mains first touch down during a wheel landing
for the wing to still be flying...

I suppose you could also count carrier landings, if you want to pick nits.


Unless you have something better you would prefer to do with the nits...
