Just because your dog can run with its nose on the ground doesn't mean you should do the same.

Right, Hoskins - that's not really what I meant when i said you had to be more positive with your downwind fast stops! Just recalling similar words to me by my instructor on basic helicopter training on Whirlwinds when I nearly ploughed in tail first during a pathetic attempt at a downwind fast stop!
