I am disappointed, you didn't call me so I could fly over for the first flight! The wind sock showed it was dead Calm!
When did you find a day with no wind? Yesterday was a little windy & wet!
Was the video the entire flight?

That is one good sounding airplane, you have a real eye catcher there. There is nothing like modern day barnstorming. This is the kind of stuff that will keep private aviation alive. Randy

I was looking at your video again, I see you decided to do a wheel landing versus full stall for the first landing.

Thanks for all the comments. The fun meter is pegged hard right
I found that this airplane likes wheel landings; my test card called for any landing that got me back to the runway. Flying Paul's Kitfox was a big help for me to get a feel for the airplane.....Thx Paul. We had some extreme crosswinds that day. I plan to travel around a little once I get the 40 hours flown off. Even though I am within the CG limits, I am running out of trim with full flaps and have started landing with half flaps. Is that how most are flying? -
Don, FYI, I never land with full flaps. I am glad to hear you thought those were extreme crosswinds! In watching your video, I noticed the windsock was indicating NO wind! Did you look at the location of the horizontal stablizer after you landed??

I usually use one notch of flaps.

the kitfox has flaps? So that's what that lever in the middle is for.
