Just a li'l update...I flew yesterday still on the buddy box. Basically just did TOs and landings for 30 min. or so. On a few of the landings I flared way too much, and it stalled and bounced. I should have pulled out of it on the bounce and tried again, but I gave it all the up elevator I could and bounced it a couple more times before it settled down. I wasn't a happy camper. Did probably 10-12 landings in all. I had a few really pretty ones that even Steven was impressed with, and so was I. I think some of the time I was just seeing that it was level, and at an even rate of descent, and let it land itself, but I needed to keep my focus all the way through until all three wheels were on the ground for good. We learned that the plane lands best with the nose up about an inch or so. Bring it in on main gear, then settle it down. Slid into the landing like hot butter. I could have just as well done it solo, as Steven never took over unless I asked him to do a demo pass/Touch-n-go. Didn't do any aerobatics. Just landings, and solo skills. Earlier I had just been flying back and forth, and practicing slow level rolls, snap rolls, immelman, etc. Don't know if this bird'll fly inverted or not...we'll have to check that out sometime. Also can't wait to start building a plane. Too bad it takes so much money. LOL Anyway, just thought I'd update a bit.
