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.
