What’s the best way to do a wheel landing?
Basically, fly final at a given airspeed and as you approach the threshold ease back on the power and the yoke holding it just off the runway until it stalls, anticipating about when it will settle on the runway, working the rudder to keep it straight, but if you bounce it you have another decision to make, to add power or not, and how much.
What’s the best way to land with no flaps?
