180 pilots -rfi

[Let'sgoflying!]

Getting checked out in a 180 this weekend.
I last flew a taildragger 25 yrs ago; C140.
It went ok.
I think this one has a bigger engine.
We are DA 7500’
Flying off pavement.
What questions do you have?
I’m looking for tips.
Was told the spring steel gear is pretty bouncy so they have better landings with wheel landings, one main at a time.

I’d go find dirt or grass initially, a really big patch.

Baggage compartment weight?
Flaps?
Push a bit once planted?
