Especially, landing with some cross-wind. However, I find the LancAir ES a very docile aircraft. Stall characteristics are great. It lands easier than a Bonanza. I think blaming the airplane is misplaced blame. How many times has someone (even experienced pilots) busted their butt trying to make it back to the runway?? If you are not at least 1,000 AGL land straight ahead and take your chances with trees etc. You will not live through a stall/spin. I would rather be injured hitting a tree than dead from a stall/spin. I climb at Vx until I reach 1000 AGL. Prior to that altitude I will land straight ahead with only minor turns. Experience and discipline is the problem not the airplane. Don Morris N550KB Don Morris dmorris@cableone.net 1391 Escalante Dr. Prescott, AZ 86303 928 777-0737 928-925-5940 (c)
