Nice video! Everything looked just great! Wondered if that was a "slightly tail low", wheel landing, with almost immediate lowering of the tail wheel to the runway? Or, maybe I missed it, and it was a "full" 3 point landing. Was really a nice, smooth, landing and perfect control of the airplane. Thanks.
@mmichaeldonavon- The camera angle is a little deceiving and it was not as tail low as it looks, but it was a tail low wheel landing. If you listed close you can hear the squeak of the mains touching at 2:21 and the tail comes down about 5 seconds later. The power is pulled in the break and the pattern is flown with energy management so I shoot for a wheel landing and take whichever is needed when I cross the numbers.
