We requested taxi and navigated through what seemed a complicated mass of holding points
hehehe... me at Canberra the other day... got lost, had to get clearance to enter the runway to find our way again... who forgot to put a reverse gear on the Warrior????

I'm flying the Warrior a bit rough, especially the landings. I think I've worked out why - its not a C150 and I have to fly a wider and longer circuit because its about 10-15 knots faster in cruise and base is 80 knots, not 75 and final is 70 knots, not 65. I kept wondering on the weekend why I was 100 feet to high all the time on landing - which resulted in some pretty awful landings
Yep... that was me a few months back too. After the ol' 152 it felt a bit weird to actually feel a bit of acceleration when you open the throttle!! And the aircraft actually climbs occasionally... I was so far behind that aeroplane the first few times I flew it.

(flying back to Canberra next week... hope I don't get lost again!!)
