I have the same problem you do with the normal pattern, particularly the long haul on the 45, during which you can't possibly glide to the airport (usually after having flown over the airport!). Personally, I have gone back to power-off landings for just this reason. And I try, not always successfully, to come in "high, hot, and slipping like crazy" since I don't have the option of raising the flaps. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! weblog www.vivabush.org |
