Maybe spend a little less time on the paint job a a little more time on full stall landings. Why in the world would you wheel land a light weight plane like that? Am I missing something?

I think he was bringing it in the only way he knew how, not having any training.

Wheelie or not, he just has (had) no clue.

Hmm, didnt see anywhere that he did not have an endorsement for TW. I have to admit that sometimes the pilot community is pretty rough and touch on other pilots when they do something that not too smart.

Please raise your hand if you have never done anything stupid or dangerous with an airplane?
