Another flight on the Nieuport 17 this morning. Takeoff was great, very little tendency to go left and plenty of lift for takeoff. The plane is easy to control other than it does take a lot of real estate for turns. Also I am having to put in a little elevator to get it to come around inspite of 20% mixing -ail>rudder. I think I will add more mixing to help this.
Landing was complicated by some gusts out of the north but I got it down okay, albeit with an extra bounce or two. Still, any landing that I can taxi back from is good.
