    Well I have 4 hours and 11 landings in the Air camper. I wound up doing my first landings at KBAZ New Braunfels and then flew over to San Marcos KHYI. Both of those fields have multiple runways so I only had to deal with minor crosswinds. She cruises at about 80 mph at 2400 rpm and climbs pretty well at 65 mph. Coming over the fence at 65 to 70 seems to work ok. It floats a little more than I thought it would. Once you pull back on that stick and raise the nose all the cues are taken from the side. I waited till near dusk to fly back to Canyon Lake. That runway i# only 45 ft wide with trees one one side and a big hill on the other and I didn’t want to worry about crosswinds on my first landing back at my home field.
