John, Cut my approach glide IAS from 60 to 55mph. Huge difference in contro
l and bounce eliminated. Didn't have time to cut approach glide to 50mph. B
ut, I will when I return from vacation in a week. Rather stay here and play
. But, wife says we're going to Puerto Rico. As the blues song goes, " She
treats me like a king, she makes alot of money, I don't worry about a thing
". ( She is a goverment employee.) She says we're going, then we're going..
..... I'm crazy.....not stupid!

Since adding the VG's last month I have been practicing really slow landing

than 40 ASI and so gently there is no chance of spinning off the valve stem
s as alluded to in another thread.=C2- 20 degrees flaps does provide incr
eased adverse yaw and therefore opportunities to improve airmanship.

AOPA has a video out entitled Ups and Downs where in the chronical the prob

Ed, Thanks for info. My problem, I believe has been pulling stick back too
soon and relaunching. I=C2-have been negligent in the past=C2- about pu
lling stick all the way back and am over compensating.

I've got a IV-1200 going through a full rebuild right now, it's down to the bare
tubing at the moment. Airdale is just 25 miles down the road from me.
However I do have a 912 for it so the weight and balance is okay. But still...
