A beautiful Iowa evening to practice some tailwheel landings in the Luscombe. To develop a better sight picture and learn how to balance the plane on two wheels, I am trying to be more assertive in pushing the nose down on takeoff and keeping it on the wheels longer, rather than taking off right away. This has helped, but I still have some more practicing to do, before I can get this plane to wheel land properly.

For fun and practice, I also dropped into my friend's private airstrip where the taildragger really comes into its element. Practicing soft field three point landings, the runway slope messes with my sight picture a bit on takeoff.
