I am just having my annual completed. It should be done today. I am a
purchaser, not a builder. My repair shop installed SB050-9999 without
a problem.

I also had Ong's Debongers installed. I will report on the Debongers
in a future issue.

My 320 has the small tail and a center of gravity that is at the aft
limit when fully loaded.

I will be taking some more landing training to help with better
landings. I met a G4 pilot, instructor. He believes that my
approaches should be slower. 1.3 times stall or about 80 mph for calm
days. He also suggested adding 1/2 the crosswind component plus all
of the gust speed up to a maximum of 33 mph. In all of my past
training (from Lancair also) I have been told to stay at 120 mph. How
do the rest of you approach?
