Sorry for the mess in the first message, this should look better:

In a couple of weeks I hope to transition from a 180 HP Super Cub to our clubs only Piper Pawnee. Would just like a heads up from you guys on a couple of things.


I had been towing in 180 Super Cubs and then took a long layoff from
towing. When I checked out in a 235 Pawnee I found it easy enough to
fly. Get used to the view over the long nose before you takeoff.
Remember that's your landing attitude. The nose seems very low in
flight so you have to get used to that too. I found the brakes very
sensitive on the last one I flew so be sure to keep off them. Not
sure about the relative ability of the Super Cub and the Pawnee for
cross wind as I don't have a lot of time in Pawnees. The only time I
was faced with strong cross winds was during a contest launch and a
landing mistake would have taken out the gliders at the back of the
grid. After a couple of landings that were a bit busier than I was
comfortable with I chose to land on a runway more into the wind.
Takeoff with strong cross wind was no problem.
