Hi listers. Just got in from a two hour flight. These Texas winds arereally something. Our main runway here in Uvalde is 15/33, and the windsare almost always out of the South East, so there's usually a really goodsometimes a direct 90 degree x-wind. I love wheel landings, so on final, Iapproach at 65, and carry about 1200 rpms till right over the threshold,then throttle on back. With these winds, lots of rudder is sometimesrequired to keep it down the center line (well, almost centered that is). Ikeep this configuration till the left wheel touches, then apply a littleforward stick and the right wheel is on the pavement, then wait for the tailto settle. I probably made 12 touch and goes this evening, what a kick!Our house is just off the end of the airport, so on the last approach, I sawmy wife waving me in for supper, she had the BBQ pit fired up there in theback year. Gotta go eat BBQ'ed chicken. Love thesePiets/GN-1's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Robert Hensarling GN-1 83887________________________________________________________________________________
