Maxie plays Battleship! again

Awww, it's the "battleship" method of flaming again. You'd have to get something right for it to sting, fjukktard... And even then, I'd have to give a **** what you thought... Bertie Your ass reminds you of a battleship? Ah, but you do. Nice thing about lying, you can always have it your way! |

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Yeah, soft field technique in a tike is just the same as a tsaildragger, but you can't maintian the high alpha down at low speeds. Bertie You're really stuck on that "alpha" word aren't you. You seem to use it all the time, lately. I think you have just been spending a little too much time with your nose up the lead dogs ass. |

Noseheels end to dig in a bit, especially if they're small, wheras the even smaller tailwheel tends to ride up out of a soft runway. Direct contradiciton to a latter statement. Wow, who would have guessed? As you say, there's generally better prop clearance as well. Tailwheel airplanes have generally got more ample control surfaces and a proficient pilot can get better crosswind performance because of that. Has zip **** to do with a tail wheel. The mains are usually the same size as a comparable nosewheel airplane, though airplanes set up for the bush and Cubs have low pressure tires, so that's not a factor. It's not relative here either. The airplanes attitude at low speed is probably the biggest factor. Almost as soon as you're moving with a taildragger you have a good bit of lift from the wings and that lightens the load on the mains sooner than you could do so with a trike. No it doesn't. Under full power you can get a trikes tail on the ground at almost zero ground speed. Who have you been talking to, MX? On landing the three point attitude provides some aerodynamic braking that slows you more quickly, but, OTOH, you can't brake quite as had as you do with a trike. Have another drink. Bottom line is there's not a whole lot of difference in performance or that many advantages one way or another. Th eaccident record is worse, but that's almost always down to pilot proficiency. I'm more comfortable in taildragger when I'm current. I suppose the best comparison is that between a bike and a car. Harder to keep a bike upright, but you have more control over it when you do get "it" Learn to ride a bike. They stop quicker on soft fields, duh? Bertie |

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Well, yeah, but I'd rather do it with the tail down! Or your tail between your legs. In any case, I'd disagree about being able to brake harder in the taildrgger. That's because you are incompetent. I agree that the nosewheel has a tendency to dig in, bu tif you have the stick in your gut that's not a problem at speed and near max braking is available. You didn't think so two posts up. Braking that hard in taildragger is going to lead to grief! Bull****. If you can't fly one, rent a trike. |

Be VERY, VERY careful when doing this on wet grass! It gets real interesting when the tail is up, the brakes are on, and the mains are sliding down the runway. :-0 Done that, in a 185, braking as hard as I could with the tail way up. It'll stop much shorter than the POH says, even when the grass is wet. Dan |

You'd just have a whellbarrow, then. No your wouldn't, you would have a longer front strut. You're a moron and you know nothing about airplanes. Bertie |
