Re: landings and wind
Ed,
A little power is essential to a wheel landing. You can plant the wheels at about 60mph and then add in a little power, but you can't hold the correct attitude without it.
Once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. You'll be amazed how much forward elevator you can use without digging up asphalt....it's far more than you think! Nothing looks cooler than a nice flat wheel landing and holding it there until your turn-off.
