Never been on pavement before. When I touched down I reversed direction completly and shot down the runway backwards. then reversed direction again and came to a stop.
did no damage except my passenger tried to tear out the inside braces.
The final embaressment came when I walked into town to have breakfast and while i was getting coffee the waitness asked (in a loud voice) are you the guy that just ground looped that Piper? Every one there was looking at me so I burst out laughing.
that PA 20-150 taught me a lot about flying taildraggers
