Great job Steve!
Yep not easy to be sure but you did a fine job. Its more intimidating than it seems when you actually fly it I think. Im looking forward to the next time out for sure.

My only comment on the landing approach procedure is that your coming in too high and then dropping onto the field. This increases the airspeed unnecessarily. If you make a long shallow descending turn on final with a low power setting you will be lined up and low ready to touch down. I walked over to the end of the runway to give myself a better perspective on the runway and to try and touch down near me so there would be the rest of the runway to slow down. Ive seen you land like this with your larger IMAC models so I know you can do it!

Now we can fly at CAMS! Lol carrier landing with a GEE BEE anyone? Hahaha
