Tuned In & High Wing Drifter: I think from now on I will make the effort to remove most of the rudder trim - if I do this below ACH then there is no possibility of a GA. But do I want to be messing with rudder trim at 200ft, hmm, I think it shouldn't distract me...
FFF: I've just had a look at the thread, looks interesting. I've read some information on pprune a long time ago regarding reasons for using partial/no flap in crosswinds, and the general consensus was that the advantages outweighted the disadvantages. A few reasons were mentioned, and one, that hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet, is that the aircraft is more stable flapless in a crosswind.
Re over the numbers speed of 76, thats an interesting point. My FTO (and a few others that I know of) quote 80kts over the numbers in their operating data. Maybe this extra 5tks is causing the float that I have previously mentioned.
