Landing the X Cub

[Mort]

Ok, this seems like it would be easier to do than land, say, the A359, but no. How the heck do you land the X Cub??

I’ve always struggled to land and brake without either bouncing or smashing the nose into the runway.

Any tips?

XCub Landing Tutorial

Landing the XCub, or any taildragger isn’t for the faint of heart!! In this tutorial, I will demonstrate two different landing techniques as we continue this XCub training series. Don’t be afraid to return to the basics! Start with a three-point landing and keep practicing until you’ve mastered the wheel landing. Stay light on the controls and keep those virtual feet dancing on the rudder pedals! Click below to tune in! [Facebook]

You’re right. It’s harder. Which makes it so satisfying.
