I'll put in a good word for you here at the HAI in Dallas (I'd rather be in San Diego, duh). At work us heli maintenance types call the aviators "DP's" (dumb pilots).

Well now that I have a little experience in the 170, very little. I have almost 30 hours and over 100 landings I think I like the wheel landings the best. I feel there is better control on the wheel landings. They feel a lot smoother than the three point landings. I want to thank everybody for all their opinions.

If you haven't yet tried it, put about a hundred pounds of ballast in the rear end and practice some three point landings. you'll be pleasantly surprized at the difference.
