Taildragger Tactics
This book deals with flying the conventional gear airplane in a safe and pleasurable manner. It covers every aspect of taildragger operation from aerodynamics maintenance and preflight, to normal operations, to operations in unusual or adverse conditions. Many photos and drawings show a pilots perspective from the cockpit of various maneuvers. As the author's experience is in back country and mountain flying, this is an excellent book for those whose taildragger operations will likely include bush type flying.
Some specific topics covered include
* directional control with rudder usage to eliminate ground loops
* a simplified landing technique to make all landings easy and consistent
* handling crosswinds with a curved path technique
* rules to compensate for unusual situations including high altitude, gross weight changes, and variable runway surfaces.
