Ron,
I did it many times during last winter.
I have to point it was always slippery snow or ice surface.
It was very fun and it circled like carrousel (merry-go-round) easily around mainwheel, which stayed on its place.
I would not dry it on any surface with more friction.

Just as a matter of interest could I turn a Mono on my short, very
bumpy, grass strip (max 20' wide with no turning area) after
backtracking in a strong wind. I sometimes have trouble with my
trike using full braking on one wheel!

this thread which again, IMO, celebrates the extreme flexibility of a
wonderful airframe which sees such variety (mono, trigear,
conventional taildragger, short wings/long wings, Rotax, Soobs, Jabs,
CAM/Honda, Smart Brabus, O-200, and what next?)

look forward to hearing how your shapely wing fillets perform, Fred

Why lift it?
Most mono's will have lost the little pin that restricts the turning of the tail wheel. To spin the aircraft on the wheel C simply lift the wing to keep the outrigger wheel off the ground C and push the wing rearward. Easy peasy!
Please! I do not wish to start a chain of correspondence about the value of the missing pin.
Cheers.
Bryan. Ps sorry I cant make the Doth.
