e., nose up upon landing). Thanks Paul, Stan, Tony, and all who
responded. I think I can build a better airplane now, and, stabilizer VGs
will be part of it. I think I'll head for the shop and see if it has warmed
up from this morning's low of 34°.

Count your blessings, it was close to { - 34 f } here this week in the "hole". That would be 68 degrees colder.... Geez. This global warming thing might be slightly exagerated . :<)

Hi Ben
I count my blessings every time I look out across the Bitterroot Valley. It
is incredible right now, with the sun just down behind the mountains.
Temperature-wise, the 34 was inside the shop. It was a bit below zero
outside this morning, I think. But even then, I'm not complaining. I grew
up in Laramie, and everywhere seems warm compared to there. It's the
Wyoming wind that's the killer.

When I land well the nose stays up.
When I'm off, the nose drops.
The best landings I have are smooth.
I hold the nose up + rv pilots say
'That's the way to land.' Actually, that's
what an rv friend of my said when we landed
when I flew with hin at the Arlington flyin.
We work together on the ramp.
(The rv pilot reference is supposed to be humorous.)
The nose will drop if I hit the runway too fast.
If I'm in good form, I'm easing the stick back
and touch the runway with a very low descent rate.
And near stall speed. Then I can hold the nose up.
With a bit of power I can taxi for a mile+ with
the nose up. (Boeing Field has a 2 mile long runway.)
If I land on 34L I ask for a long landing. And I
fly down the center line at 10 feet AGL and 80 knots
and touch down at A2 and turn right at A1. I try to
set the nose down gently. I'd rather not taxi the
2 miles.
Yes, I've had the nose drop hard. Not a good landing.
I don't like that. I earned my instrument rating last
year. It took longer than I expected. I flew C172s
for that. It is easier to set the C172 nose down gently
than it is with the CH601XL. But I still like the XL
better than the Cessna. Off the ground at the numbers
at BFI and I'm confident flying down the runway and
touching down near the end.
Oh yeah, the XL does great 60 degree steep turns with
the canopy full of the sky. Not as fun in a high wing.
Anyone want to go flying !!!!!!!!
