the one whose tires kept getting bald spots, and the one whose prop get
bent.


Bald spots on landing are usually the result of having ones toes on the
brakes instead of the rudder pedals. This comes from pushing the rudder
pedals by flexing the foot so that the ball pushed against the toe
brakes instead of sliding the heels for and aft to control direction of
the ground roll by pushing the lower rudder pedal portion.


That was one theory. Trick is, all the same pilots were flying all the
planes in the fleet and only the 182 was getting bald spots. Also,
after landing, the brakes would be partially engaged for a while until
they cooled down (very annoying as it made it next to impossible to move
the plane back into its parking space). There was no one in the cockpit
so this after-landing lockup was manifestly not caused by someone
applying the brakes inadvertently.

We had long arguments about this for many years. The matter had still
not been resolved when I left the club.
