Dear Gert,
It was a joke, my stupid humour.
When landing, concentration must be always 100%.
Also with Cessna, allways.
Still, I have now over 100 Mono landings to
all kind of runways with different weather conditions.
I just wonder the mono=B4s reputation which is
"very difficult to land"
"ground looping is everybody=B4s destiny"
"do not buy CS prop - you will break it anyway"
"impossible to land safely -must be converted to trike"
"practising beforehand with other `normal`taildraggers is a must"
Cannot understand. It has been for me personally just a pure joy.
Maybe because before Europa I practised with mono cycle.
And the feeling "winning the challenge" gives a good satisfaction.
Just wonder who will be the first who converts trike to mono?!!!
Wishes, Raimo
(I do know; writing like this I beg blood from my nose and
next time when landing I will maybe know what means ground looping!)

Reimo,
Believe me, it will never be a "left-hand-job" to land a mono aircraft
- after my opinion, it is every single time a job that demands your
attention 101% - but what is better than a challenge? :-)
Fly safe.

All
I got plenty of feed back about favourite mono tires /tyres.
Most of you prefer McCreary Air Trac 7.00 - 6 x 6 ply
and that will be also my choice.
Quite many of you pointed that by updating mono=B4s tire
it is even easier to handle when landing. Obviously it is
then possible to drink coffee same time...
Thank you, Raimo
