RevGQ,
Great Input! My first landing was just as you described and ended quite successfully. On my second flight the wind had changed and approaches were coming from the "short" side of the field and didn't allow for the plane to settle into a good approach. After about 10 aborted landings I finally thought I had it licked, but it came down hard and flipped.

Our field is in a state of flux, but by spring it will be realigned with almost unlimted approachs from both directions.

Again, good input, and advice worth heeding!

Steve
