Tell us all about your flight to Oshkosh!

John, I realize this response is a little late but after reading a few wise crack answers I figured I would give a little more explanation. The 701 has a little different feel to the rudder than other planes I've flown. I have over 70 hours on mine now and the rudder feel has become second nature to me. It will loosen up a bit over time but really I think it is a matter of you becoming more familiar with the feel. You will get to the point where you know just how much rudder to apply and when during the transition from flight to rollout. The 701 is extremely capable of handling ham fisted pilots during landing. I have landed my 701 in 15 mph direct cross wind and had no major trouble. That is my comfort level but am sure that with practice, I would be able to handle more because of the planes capability.
