Happy to say that today I broke a personal record. Did three flights on the Stinson in under an hour. All without incident.
At first I found it hard to handle and must honestly say that I need much more stick time on this one before I can say that I will be really satisfied.
Taking off was quite easy given the conditions.
However I have an issue with its landing. It either keeps on floating by or else it thuds down into the ground. I suppose it's a matter of getting the approach, level and speed right.
I would great appreciate it if, this coming weekend, someone would be kind enough to help me by way of suggestion when I am about to commence my approaches etc.
Having said that I feel pretty satisfied with how thing went.
