Hello Super-Cub members. I own a C-182 (with the large O-550 engine, extra fuel tanks, and TKS) and fly it, among other places, to the out-of-the-way. (Like the far north Canadian archipelago, Resolute, Pond Inlet, etc).
I only get to own one airplane, so this 182 is a sensible compromise between all my interests. I am looking for guidance on:
1) Learning how to land off-airport
2) Learning how the 29" AK Bushwheels for a 182 change what I can really do off airport
3) Learning a taxi technique I have heard about that uses full back elevator, high-ish power, and brakes to basically taxi in a "wheelie" to minimize nose-wheel damage and prop-strike likelihood.
I figured a bunch of SuperCub owner/operators might be a good place to ask for pointers on these matters.
Thanks.
Best, Bill
