Had a great flight yesterday in my 77 Warrior with the longer taper wings. Only have about 50 hours in it so far. So we are still getting to know each other.
Landed on 35 with winds 340 - 17 with gust to 26. I thought the plane was becoming a butterfly when we were on final. It was rocking back and forth.
When I got over the numbers and about 20 ft. off the ground, she smoothed out and I was able to do a normal landing.
However, I was glad I didn't have a pax with me. I know they would have been scared out of their wits. I have a lot of time with the Hershey bar wing and it seems like I did better with high winds. Have any of you felt this way? Any landing tips? I plan to grab a CFI, and do some remedial cross wind work.
