Full stall (3 point) landings are recommended for soft or rough fields.
Crosswind approaches can best be accomplished by using the wing down, top
rudder method followed by either a full stall or wheel landing technique. Keep the
lower wing into the wind after touchdown. Do not drop the tail until airspeed is
well below flying speed.
CAUTION
The use of wheel brakes is not recommended until after the tail wheel is in
contact with the ground. For maximum braking, the control stick should be FULL
AFT.
Descent should be made with enough power to maintain cylinder and oil
temperatures in the green arc. If possible, avoid windmilling the engine with the
propeller by reducing airspeed or increasing power.
