Something I recommend every student pilot or private pilot if they haven't done it try: get a CFI who will make/help you do crosswind...

On a Scott 3200, these little guys were a pain and broke with some regularity

Part of the Citabria preflight was to check the distance between the tailwheel and the bottom of the rudder. I recall that less than one...

1) When you gently roll on the tailwheel first, there’s precious little weight on it and no undue stress. Then again, if dropped in...

Not to be argumentative, or to derail, but… In my Citabrias, I could often roll on the tailwheel slightly first, conditions permitting...

Which is maybe why I put “full stall” in quotes?

I used to teach tailwheel transition courses in one of two Citabrias. It was basically a 5 hour syllabus. Hour 1 was mostly aircraft...

True. Ideal situation is charging at home via solar. That’s about as good as it gets.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN did experiments on the feasibility of nuclear powered aircraft...

I moved from S FL to N GA, and now E TN, largely because of the roads and I love driving and riding on them. Creeping along on the...

I’ll assume you did the math. How about for a 60° crosswind? 45°? Or anywhere in between? The idea is just to reduce it somewhat. Every...

That runway was under construction when we were there, as you can see in the satellite photos.

Or...radical idea...the pilots themselves. At some point, you're going to know that you're not capable anymore. Maybe an instructor...

Anecdote: I landed once in my Sky Arrow at Moriarty, NM with a hellacious right crosswind to what was then a single runway. My ground...

Three things I found helpful. 1) In general, on a “3-point” landing try to get the tailwheel to roll on slightly first. If you succeed...
