CG,

I can't wait to get the Tiger built. My dad wanted to get the 60 size but I ended up picking up the 40 sized kit that was laying around his house for 6 years.

I also was doing the same things on my landings, landing away from centerline. I haven't been told to not be able to see the bottom of the wing but I was taught to bring the plane to my shoulder on the base leg. It seems very similar to how you were saying to fly the plane towards you. It was the three things at once that took me a while to get a feel for again but it's starting to feel better.

Semper Paratus, my dad retired in 2000 he was an AT, HH-65 flight mech, C-130 navigator, HU-25 radio operator, and he probably did some other stuff but that's all I can remember.<br type="_moz" />
