Nice one. I knew this but you did it really well. This is the best way to land the Norseman too. How about the DC3 though. That's a tough one. Or the very bouncy Beech 18.
In my experience those big taildraggers are easier to land a little faster and on the first two wheels and when it is rollin gently slow down and finish the fligth with the tail coming donw last.
awesome - out of interest, was it inspired by the British Navy who made it possible with this technic to land the Hellcat or Corsair ( or similar big noises ) on landing decks after their US friends suffered many many crashes on deck with these aircrafts trying to land them?
MSFS needs a bit of work on ground IMO. A tail dragger should need a bit of throttle as you get to very slow speeds to be able to control resulting ground loop which usually occurs when you are slowing down to a stop in a tail dragger. As for your approach, first off great flying! What I do though is a bit different and I have no idea if this is even allowed. I come in at a much steeper angle in planes with low over the nose visibility, a bit faster than normal and just cut throttle as I flare and I usually butter the landings this way. Again though, not sure if this is even allowed LOL as I see no one else doing this.
Nice tip. So simple, but I'm ashamed to say that it has never occurred to me to use this technique!

Oddly, the dc3 I tend to land smoothly. The beaver, d17, d18, etc not as much lol
@@Terribleguitarist89me too now I've put on the Duckworks mod.

It was the F4U Corsair. The USN was on the verge of not using it as a carrier based aircraft because of the issues of landing.

Navy final approach
Haha seems obvious now. Thanks.
