elaboration,=there was a fairly large amount of p effect on takeoff combined withabout 7mph direct crosswind from the left.got it straightened out and madeit into the air.climbed out at 60-65 to 500 agl,made four left hand laps aroundthe field checking out input response.nothing steep just gentle turns,even at864 empty it is very light and affected by every little thermal gust or anything,alwayscontrollable though,made a couple of right hand circles and no difference,setupon a long approach at 55-60 and got it on the ground,the 7 mph crosswindpushed me to the left pretty easily but we lived.gonna extend my gearforward 5" and put some gap seals on the ailerons.cant give any advice at thispoint or probably for quite a while.all I can say is there were no excessiveinputs required and a littler engine up here would not be a good idea.davehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhAoobvoN10&fea ... ----taking to hangarRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 29 May 2011 21:00:30 -0400 (EDT)
