I am new to landing a Cub and I know it has been discussed a lot on here but It seems to me I have better control on landing if I do a wheel landing and really not landing that much faster. It seems like on take off once I raise the tail I have better control being able to see over the front of the airplane. So when i do a wheel landing it is just like taking off I feel like I have better control and it seems a lot more natural than a 3 point.
Like I say I am new to landing the Cub and wondered if anyone else does wheel landings mostly and why.
And those of you that think this is wrong, why ?

It just seems like I can plant the mains on and hold it there and not bounce like in a 3 point.
Maybe after flying more I will decide a 3 point is better but I am just curious how others feel about this. :confused:

Thanks

Dennis
