Interesting video.


It gives me a good point of comparison.


It looks like you come in much steeper on landing than I do.

I usually bring it in lower, stabilize the altitude, then as I approach the threahold start backing off the throttle to let it settle in.

Yours comes in steep and is almost completely stalled by the time the wheels touch down.

I'm afraid to bring it down that quickly for fear of hurting the retracts.


It's easy to see in the video that this plane is fast.


I swear that I'm turning much higher RPM's on the GMS .76 engine though.

At level full throttle flight, it sounds much more like your plane does in a dive and the sound is - LOUD - .
