Impressions 5+ hours in.

While waiting for the wind to slow down (an unusual problem for Augusta) , I sewed a beatiful set of silver sheepskins onto the bottom seat cushions and reinforced the seat backs with fiberglas cut from "Corkscrew" the Cork's Hunter 22 that formed the basis of my home cockpit. LSA owners can fix most non-structural stuff, change tires, oil, and sparkplugs themselves.
My first day of flying was alone, of course, to sort out the differences in this airplane. The plan was to depart AGS (takeoffs are easy) and go to the lake, do airwork and practice landings (okay, Robert! not approaches!) at Thompson (HQU). Departure was no issue and the lake was a nice. This airplane handles wonderfully, the stalls, slow flight, flaps, steep turns and ground reference maneuvers went well.
Landings were not as easy. I had lost the "sight picture" and was consistently high and fast. The technique of "making a distinct descent to the runway" seems to yield fast and flaky flares. Flaps helped, but I did several low-altitude tours of the airport. Nervous. Finally got a few acceptable rollouts and departed for AGS.
The Bulldog MOAs and restricted areas were hot. I did not like going south of the restricted area, but the controller didn't call me on it, and I stayed well clear of Fort Gordon. Next time, I'll depart HQU East to clear all that to the north side.
Made the worst sort of landing at Bush. Hot, high and fast. tried to force the situation and bounced. Not really bad "go-around NOW!" bounces, but the commuter CRJ had a good show! When the tower gave me the turn-off instructions, I replied with "Whenever I stop bouncing I will!" and then on the turnoff "I think I'll log three landings for that!" Didn't break anything or even scare myself, I know to keep the nose up and if it 's bad add lots of power, but I know better.
Friday was a much better day! Packed it up and stayed in the pattern. I'm going to go back to my original technique of holding approach attitude and speed all the way down to the flare. Less general changing of everything at the last moment. It works much better! 65 knots and 15-degrees of flaps is very controlled and the flare and float may be a little longer than some would prefer, but the touchdowns are gentle,but firmly on the ground with the nose wheel up and no bounce. After 5 great landings, I departed northeast for the lake and had a ball playing with the terrain feature of the Garmin. And the ZAON PCAS "fishfinder" works well for finding intruder aircraft.
Did some pilotage and found my sister-in-law's farm. Even better I caught ahe and Pete our loading a horse trailer. Stayed legal, but circled them several times and saw them looking at me. No long guns were produced, so I went overhead at the FAA-required 500 feet AGL at went back to AGS. Great landing and rollout with the white stripe firmly underneath.
