Let's fly a 1 mile wheelie down the runway.

Getcha one of those NAA/FAI Sporting Licenses and apply for a world record.

"Shortest tire life without actually flying," or something like that...

I knew the Grumman was slow, but it took 11 minutes to wheelie for a mile? Damn. No wonder you didn't make 6Y9 or Gaston's. You would have needed to leave In February.

@SixPapaCharlie that was a very nice demonstration of staying right on the center line. (No joke here. This is a genuine compliment.)

Join me for a bit of precision flying inches off the runway and also mains down, nose up.

Now do it on one wheel in a crosswind.

Now do it on one wheel in a crosswind.

Pffft, that's nothing. I do it with 0 wheels all the time, at all different altitudes.

That was pretty.

If you fly a castoring nose wheel AC, and practice TNGs, you'll be doing this in short order ... otherwise, you'll be learning how to re-torque your nose gear to 22 ft/lbs of pull not torque in order to eliminate the shimmy that starts showing up 6 months after annual. Landing mains only on TNGs and never letting the nose down then back on the go ...

I'm doing neither the one-mile wheelie, nor the wheelbarrow with my T-Tail, but thanks.

Makes me wanna grab a C152, tho!

just use the tail wheel.
