Those Russian fighters. Look at his last landing in the Yak 3

Just bear in mind wheeler landings leave little clearance between prop tip and ground, they use up more runway because it requires a touch of extra speed, you don't really have the option to apply brakes while in the wheeler attitude, certain aircraft are strictly recommended not to use the wheeler technique.

AFAIK the Yak is quite docile on landing, he balooned on his first attempt because he was just too fast, and perhaps needed a bit less flap.. you really need to know what you're doing when doing a wheeler landing with a taildragger, or as bongo says you're gonna end up striking the ground with the prop or worse..

Very much enjoyed this.  Gonna repost it on my squad forums.  It's amazing watching the "rudder authority" of take off and how much was necessary from the torque of the engines.  Seems the P-40 has to use a lot more than the others?  The Yak sure was landed "hot".  Thank You Much.

The MiG-3 I've seen in flight also lands two-point, as does the I-16 in most vids I've seen.

The way I like to land that Lagg is like the Yaks last landing

My Lagg landings are more like the first one :(
