Would someone be kind enough to post a Spit landing?

Without ground looping. Thanks

Not exactly a close-up but you can see by the short run that Han applied brakes generously and short rudder inputs to keep it straight.

Tanks, Lucas. Seen that. I can't see rudder or break used. Did you have any problems after touch down? Grownd loops?

Here's an approach and landing that I did. I was a bit late in getting the stick right back after landing, but it didn't affect the roll-out. Note the short, sharp rudder and brake inputs.

 

 

Please excuse the slight jitter on my zoom axis and the fact that I left the video interface showing (what a movie noob) 

 

For a great essay on how to fly taildraggers, see here (part 1), here (part 2), and here (part 3).

OK, try it now. My first YouTube video.

Thanks Jim, It seems to have to do with appying breaks ! Nice landing.

Thanks. For the first part of the rollout, the rudder is still effective, so I'm applying short stabs of rudder as soon as the plane veers left or right. Then, as the rudder loses effectiveness, I'm applying short stabs of brake along with short stabs of rudder to direct the braking action left or right as soon as the plane veers left or right. I applied a bit more positive braking action right near the end, when the plane was slowed down.

What he said.It is a dance with tapping of rudders and back end rudders with brakes.
