Just want to let you know what a nice job you did in explaining the
anatomy of a taildragger landing. It was a lot better, more complete, than my
effort.
When I went thru flight training the Navy wanted landings to be tail
wheel first. Make sure the hook engaged. Later on I built a WW1 SE5A replica.
If it wasn't landed the way you described in your article it was an invitation
to a ground loop. Anyway, I feel that if low time pilots read your ltr. and
follow your advice they will surely benefit from it. Regards, Bob
