Scout vs Pawnee. Which would have more of a tendancy to nose over on soft turf. ? Fully agree with previous comments. Remember that you want to stay away from wheel landings, and that the power of the Pawnee will make a big difference in takeoff distance on a soft field. Skip

There generally is a summertime "monsoon season" throughout the Rocky Mountain region. I'm reliably informed by Moriarty locals that the powdery reddish stuff commonly blown about there and often entrained in dust devils isn't "dust" but "enchantment."

True dat! You'd really have to spike it on to dig the wheels into the
"ground". :-D On 4/20/2015 2:19 PM, Mike the Strike wrote: On Monday, April 20, 2015 at 8:25:00 AM UTC-7, Dan Marotta wrote: I do mostly wheel landings but that's because of the stiff crosswinds that we usually have at Moriarty.
