Most challenging landing

I probably have about 100 landings in this gravel bar by now, its always exciting , fun and challenging.
Has to be no wind and lightweight airplane every time.
Take off its pretty fun too.

Re: Most challenging landing

Very good job, Dave. The steep turn is not a problem with the nose down on landing until the down wing gets close. A little rudder turn at the bottom is fine. Excellent use of the rudder turn, in ground effect, on takeoff.

As I've said before, and you make me look good, it's not the airplane. It is the pilot.

My favourite so far Larry. We’ve seen your flying before. What I really liked was the narration, the head cam, and the drone work. Fabulous. Thank you for doing the work, and sharing.

Sorry Larry. I'm terrible with names, and memory in general.

Re: Most challenging landing

Please forgive the “armchair” quarterbacking but you mentioned calm winds and I see what looks at first blush an unobstructed approach path from the opposite direction. No offence meant, intended or otherwise, your airmanship is wonderful I’m just curious that’s all

I have landed from the other side maybe more than 200 times, just adding some variety and fun, which is why I land there in the first place :)
