:confused: I'm relatively new to the 'toga, and absolutely love it. This weekend, I have my first two flights at gross. Any tips and tricks?

I'll watch speed carefully on take off...and may use one notch of flaps.

I'm assuming:

1. Less back pressure on landing, and less need to trim to get the nose up.

2. Dog slow climb, even though the 'toga has the 300hp.

3. Much longer takeoff roll than with 2 people (duh!).

Any other thoughts? (I do have an instructor, but interested in other perspectives).

Thanks, members!
