Motoadve,

Nice job all around. Try using rudder only on final. The little coordinated turn on short final of the last approach caused the little bobble on touchdown. Rudder trims longitudinal alignment better and does not cause the nose to drop and airspeed to increase.

Re: Gulf Dulce and Corcovado national park flying

very cool. Was that Puerto Himenez airport? I flew in there as a passenger on a twin otter on the way to Corcovado.
I can't wait to head down there and do some flying in CR.

I wish I could make it before April but it will be later next year before I start my trip south.
When you get to Seattle I'll be calling you asking lots of questions about flying in CR!
