Tail wheel low doesn't mean tail wheel first. All that means is that you can land the 51 on the mains with the tail wheel somewhat off the runway then let the tail settle in on it's own. Note that you should never force the tail wheel down after touchdown. This can lead to a bad bounce.Moggster wrote:That's what I thought Jim. I am flying the Mustang by the numbers using the RCAF Mustang 4 and in cockpit pilot notes. I tend to see the lower oil pressure at lower MP and RPMs. At higher settings, the oil pressure is within tolerance. Which kind of makes sense as the engine and oil will be cooler with the lower settings.
I guess if anyone knows how to fly a Mustang, it's going to be Dudley! I'm just worried about landing with the tail wheel 1st but I think if I make a mental note of how the Mustang sits on the ground, it should help with the landing AoA...as long as I don't exceed it.
Thanks for taking the time to help Jim, it's greatly appreciated.

You can always if you prefer put a Mustang down 3 point. Tail wheel low was my preferred way to land this aircraft.
