Congratulations on the "brown book" ChiSau, I'm interested in your comments about feeling more secure in a low-wing a/c though.
I changed from training in a Grob G115 to the C172 on grounds of weight and size (mine!) and immediately felt more in touch with what the a/c was doing in the flare simply because I could see the green stuff approaching. The only downside is having to lift the wing the "wrong" way before turning.
Interesting lesson yesterday, winds 290 at 20G30 on our 27N grass (518m) strip, the only time so far I've been terrified and elated at the same time. Needless to say this was not a solo session...How did the Warrior cope with the condx?
