I had to land my RS-15 on its main wheel and continue to "fly" it on the ground, while still on its main, until I used the effective wheel brake to slow and stop. As soon as the tail wheel would touch the ground there would be very little aileron control. Landing that sailplane in a conventional two point landing would cause a wing drop soon after touchdown resulting in a trip off the edge of the runway. Reworking the flap/aileron mixing cam helped but did not solve the problem. Other RS-15's had the same behavior. My Mini Nimbus was fine with two point landings as well as main wheel landings. Mike
