Spring gear, so watch that final 2-3 feet of your decent, especially if you
have large tires and it hasn't been upgraded to C180 legs. Power is your
friend while taxiing. Plan and anticipate. Keep your feet moving.


You will want to wheel land it, slightly tail low. Some have a tendency
to oil-can if you are going too fast when the tail is put on the ground.
