First 5 landings at 30 psi, control felt tight and fast
Second 5 landings 18 psi, felt better but I'm planning on dropping them another
5-8 psi.

| Subject: | To those waiting to fly |
I wanted to post my first flight experience in the 801 in case any one was interested.
2 words...Super Sweet! This plane is so stable and just flat out fun I was giddy
the whole time. Started to roll up to 55knots, had set the trim, just a tiny
back pressure for a split second and the wheels broke free and off she went.
The trim was right on and no other input was required for the great practically
hands off climb out. i needed about a quarter pedal right rudder, which
was quite a bit less or it felt like quite a bit less than a 172. I was used
to my CH 2000, so getting to pattern by the end of the runway was a real treat.
Crosswind to Downwind was so nice and smooth, I was very pleased with the
very light control input pressure.
I decided to ease the power out before and as I passed the numbers (despite what
I had read in some accounts) on downwind, pointed the nose down and turned base
just about a 1/2 mile off the end of the runway. I held about 1000 rpm (on
a O-360) but with the pitch decided I didn't need it and pulled it out.
I took it down to about the same 10-12 feet I was used to in the 2000, small flare
and held the nose back to the mains made contact. The front wheel as I had
read did come down almost immediately but not hard or bouncy way like I had
imagined from all the articles etc...
Off again in an instant and back around 10 more times. The second time I did get
the bouncy wheels and decided to let the pressure down after 3 more tries.
The lower pressure (18 psi) was a good move but I think a little lower will be
perfect.
I have to tell you guys it was great, I felt like a kid. Writing this now I'm
still smiling. So if you haven't flown her yet boy are you in for a treat.
I haven't been this excited to get to the airport in a long time.

Mr Fanning,
I'd recommend you stay with at least 20 lbs to keep from demounting a
tire or worse breaking a stem from the tube.

I put just enough air in my 701 tires so the side walls don't bulge, about 10 pounds.
It can get a little squishy feeling on taxi but they take up alot of shock
on landing with low pressure.
