520, I flew Daisy last year when she was brought to Alice for a visit. I hadn't flown one, lest a stubbie, for going on two years. The poor buggah in the RHS (G'day mate....) showed remarkable restraint when I started to flare around the same ht as a PA31..... with the resultant "I choose to stop flying...... NOW" arrival. Caught on video no less.... . Very humbling. Suggest leaving a trickle of power on through the flare and onto the ground, but not somewhere like Bulman.
Ahhh, but what Ops forgot to mention was who was doing the videoing....

From what I could tell from the back seat, Daisy is a very nice machine. Pity 'bout that landing. I know Wiz got a personal guided tour sightseeing over the Western Macs that day.
