Best thing in the world . There's just nothing quite like mucking about in a cub .

Advice, speed! Get your speed right, if you're too fast when you flare you'll climb and end up being too slow when you get to flare height.

Practice sideslipping lots .

Like Maoraigh says, most of what you need to do is get signed off as safe in "reasonable" conditions on tarmac and then slowly push forward into more challenging conditions.

Keep current and enjoy, cubs are just lovely machines to own, their not fast but they carry a lot, can go a distance and are relatively easy and cheap to fix. .
