Walt wrote->Just "renewed" today on a Cub. I remember when I first flew the Cub (about >10 years ago) how strange it felt, and how hard to get the flare right, and >how hard to see.Well, my first supervised solo was in a J-3 off of grass, at Tim's Airpark north of Austin, TX in 1971 or thereabouts. It rented for $8/hr., wet, solo. Since I had been told there would be no forward visibility after the flare, I never thought about it and have always taken my cues from the side peripherals. It feels very natural to me. It also felt very natural to land the Cub in zero wind but in a crosswind, it was a bit squirrely. The one thing that felt funny was having the stick so high up in my chest, but maybe that was just me. The Cub taught me to slip, how to dance the pedal dance, and how to land an airplane without power, which has been a very valuable tool all of my aviation life. My instructors for my first 20 or so hours never let me use power after we chopped it abeam the numbers on downwind (except to clear the engine) and anytime my instructor was aboard and we'd be turning base, I'd hear him ask me, "high or low? Fast or slow?" which caused me to check my airspeed and position relative to the numbers so I could adjust before it was too late.I have yet to translate that experience to the Piet world but hope to do that before Labor Day. Taxi testing of 41CC next weekend, if the Lord wills it.PS- I just viewed the first segment of "Building NX770CG", and it's good stuff. An excellent addition to any Pietenpoler's collection. Hope to fly with Experimental Seven Zero Charlie Golf one of these fine days, and to call "SMOKE ON!" to good old Chuck.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 06:06:10 -0400
