After moving from PA to Florida, finally got to fly the TF P-40 again. But now operating off a paved runway instead of grass. Put a little more negative expo in the rudder. Managed to take off with out running off the runway. Landings on the hard surface were ok. Come in with full flaps carrying a little power and landed on the main. Had to be real quick on the rudder on roll out to keep her straight. I have not flown off pavement for years. Flying great. Had to use the electric started on the first start up and has been months since it last ran. Got in about five flights. The plane is mostly stock except for gear mount mod to use Lados and opening up cowl flaps. Here some pictures at the new field.
