RE: MosquitoBite
Today I maidened my Robin. No issues whatsoever. The weather was good and winds light. Takeoffs and landings very docile. It is lightly wing loaded so I would imaging strong cross winds could be a challenge, as with any tail dragger. All takeoffs today were no flap. No flap takeoffs are very short. I gradually come in with the power as I concentrate on keeping the plane straight down the runway. She was always airborne in 20' to 40' at about half power. Landings were done with no flaps and 1/2 flaps. Next time up will try full flaps. Stalls were just a change in flight path trajectory. The plane stays level but travels more vertically(down) than horizontally. All in all a very uneventful day.
