Jeff, I can not honestly say what speed I was doing at your airport for landing. I am probably a lousy technical pilot as I only glance at the airspeed 2 or 3 times during a landing and that is usually because something does not feel right (too fast or too slow) I know I was a bit fast by feel as that quartering tail wind at 19 kts had all my spiddy senses tingling a bit. Still no problem stopping well short on your runway. The takeoff the next day was noticably and painfully loooong. I know where the key is but it will cost ay a beer.... Joe Horton
----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Scott via KRnet" <krnet at list.krnet.org> To me, the aircraft seems to approach and land painfully slow near sea level altitudes. And my landing speed at 7200' has me smoking past the traffic on the mph highway next to the airport. I'm usually still passing traffic on the highway next to me when the tail stops flying and the tailwheel sinks onto the runway.
