 |
|
Well wrapped up my tail dragger endorsement last week and the weather cooperated today. Finally took my Fire star Kxp up. I was surprised how smooth the takeoff went. She climbed great. Flew it around to get the feel of the Kolb. I will say you can't take your hand off the stick or otherwise she noses over fast. I took to the advice given about landing with throttle. Did some touch and gos and finally on 4th one felt comfortable to land her. Still think I'm coming in to fast but eventually ill have it mastered.
So thanks to all for advice. Now I need to figure out how to enclose the cockpit for winter flying.
