Just to get the facts straight:

1) I intentionally hugged one side of the runway so that I would have enough room to make a stopping turn. Incedentally, the pilot station is at least 150 feet away from that fence. See aerial photo above.

2) I did not drag a wing even once during the day. I have taxi tested my plane, so I know how it will corner on the ground. Yes, I actually spent an entire afternoon taxing around as a preliminary systems check days before I flew. Like I said before, I was thorough. I've made a 15-point pre-flight checklist that I use before every flight.

3) You're right, I didn't taxi back for shutdown. I taxied to the other end of the runway, turned around, and took off again into the wind. There were no other pilots waiting to fly, so why not?

I did bring her in a little fast, but that was intentional. I want to avoid a tip stall at low altitude until I learn exaclty where the stall envelope for the plane is. I tried performing accelerated stalls at higher altitude, but it never stalled, even with full elevator. Agreed, there was minor bouncing (less than 3 inches), so the landing can't be called 'perfect', but I think it was pretty darn good. Other pilots at the field told me they were astounded at my control of the aircraft.
