Doug,
I
regularly make full stall landings in our 320 (soft field landings on grass) as
well as soft field takeoffs with the nosewheel off the ground at minimum
speed and have never touched the tail. I'm certainly not saying that it's
impossible, but it's probably unlikely. I agree with Randy on
this.

Doug,
Don't hit the tail on the ground and you wont
need a skid plate.
The 235's with the lower gear can do that but the
taller geared models shouldn't unless you really tried to do
it...
All the extra stuff in the wind slows you down...

I'm getting close to painting the project and trying to finish
any additional glass requirements. I notice some folks have a
extension on the bottom tail to prevent the rudder from getting
banged/bashed on low tail landings. My CG (current discussion)
should be acceptable but I'm not ready to put money on it yet.
(No header tank, hydraulic pump on the rear f.w., hartzell 2 blade,
extended mount, and big tail.
Comments...?
Thanks
Doug
