Yeah, I didn't think my wife would enjoy hearing "hey can you hand me a 7/16", or "hold this while I get a rag to wipe up all this oil". And no unexpected large boxes were ordered, only a few small parts. Yippie!
I've had some requests for the first landing and takeoff, but it was just to hectic to get that shot. So, here's the second landing and takeoff.
Takeoff is decreased slightly and landing is dramatically decreased with the bushwheels and double puck brakes. Time to start scouting out some new places to land.
Sweet dude. Amazing how bushwheels just make any plane perform - and look - better. You are going to be constantly looking at places and sayin "I could land there...or there...or...."
MtMatt...Great looking plane, very tuff looking, especially with those big Alaska Bushwheels, and both take-off and landing performance is enhanced. Very nice!
Looks like you're a natural, Matt. When I first got my 31s I couldn't land worth a damn... bounced a bunch. The ground just kept arriving too soon until I got used to them. It took me 20 landings to look like you did on your second!
