| | So far all I've ever flown is a Schweizer SGS 2-33. Not only
| can't

| |
| | You've never landed and then "taxied to parking"?
| |
| | Sure - but have yet to sit in the aircraft during "taxi to
| parking"
| | because the 2-33 is a monowheel glider. (Caveats on the
| monowheel.
| | It has small wheels near the wingtips and a small tailwheel.)
| |
| |
| | he meant rolling it to the tiedown after touchdown..
| |
| | Ah - I misunderstood - no. See, there is this shallow drainage
| ditch
| | in the grass between the tie down area and the landing field that
| | would make for some nasty pranging at anything above walking speed.
| | Plus the tow plane is typically too close to the tie down area to
| do
| | that safely.
| |
| |
| | Yeah, it's not something you can do just anywhere!
