Wheel landings need more work. We did 7 yesterday, 4 were keepers, the other 3 were very not good. We both acknowledge that it's something we are going to keep working on. She said based on the 4 that were keepers (the first two, the last 2), and that I was good about converting to a 3 point when they went bad that she'd endorse me so I can log PIC for the rest of our dual together.
Yeah, she slips VERY nicely. I wonder why they put flaps on her. That's something else that I want to run through a few times while Carol is still in the back seat. We haven't even looked hard at the flaps. A friend of mine who use to have one tells me that with flaps and a slower approach speed I can expect to land in 200 to 300 feet solo in it. :) That's going to be very VERY nifty!
All and all it's been a great endorsement to get. I expect the citabria to teach me alot for quite a while. It's a whole other sort of flying.
