Oldern....

I am firmly convinced that all tail-dragger, Rag and Tube Piper Cubs, etc
should be fitted with the main wheels located on the extreme tips of the wings...
.
...not...two inches apart...under the Fuselage!... :o...!

...LOL.... ;D... ;D...!

Surely you jest.

Though I've logged a fair amount of time, mostly in the Piper family of fine aircraft and the "good" Cessnas, I must admit that, five hours after first solo, I groundlooped my precious 140.

Just as a quick side-note to the FL question: when flying below 18,000 ft, set your altimeter to the local altimeter setting, and when you pass FL180, set it back to 29.92.  This is called pressure altitude, and is the way flight levels are measured (at least in real life).
