RE: Taming a Tiger (2)
Thanks for the encouragement, guys.
I'll really buckle down and practice my landings. First, I'm going to have my plane looked over by a friend at the club. I did balance the plane laterally, but I am going to have it re-checked anyway. The second thing I'm going to do is ask one of the really good pilots to fly my plane, do some touch and gos, and really put it thru it's paces. He might make some suggestions on how to improve the balance, or the amount of control throws, or any number of improvements. Also I'll pay close attention to what the plane is supposed to look like and it's speed while landing.
Again, thanks for the encouragement. I'm just frustrated with myself. I was doing so well, making these beautiful landings with the new plane never having any problems at all -- then came some windy days and really shattered my confidence.
