THAT'S cool! OK, now that you and Ol S&B have told me it's possible, I'm
back on the quest!

Thanks for that, guys!

My acro instructor used this as a demonstration of control in a 7eca.

He would fly low in touch down attitude and tap the wheel on the ground 3
times then pick up the tail without touching the mains, fly level a short
distance then repeat the tapping exercise. I have often seen him do this
3
or four times then land or go around all within 2000' of runway.

Got a question for you taildragger old-timers.

I've often thought about attitude and altitude control with power and
elevator in various combinations and have wondered if it's possible to
get
a
taildragger to literally drag it's tailwheel on the runway with the mains
off, and do it intentionally, kind of like slowflight but REALLY low over
the runway. I mean, we often try to land tailwheel first, so I was
wondering if it's possible to set up to do it partially and prevent the
mains from touching. I've tried in the Tcraft but can't seem to manage
it.

Anyone here ever done such a thing?
