I've got maybe 20 flights on a paved runway. The most fun and the most effective landings that I have were on a dry lake bed. When you have to land this bird in a specific area like on a paved runway, everything has to be pretty precise for a good landing. When I went to the dry lake, knowing I had all the time in the world to get it right as well as all the room in the world for the run out, it seems I didn't even bounce it. It may be psychological, but I had a teriffic time flying when I didn't have to worry about landing. This, coupled with the fact that I didn't even have to worry about cross wind landings really let me concentrate on flying a lot more than worring abut landing.
