Was there anything in the way of a manual that came with your aircraft?

The usual.


What do you know of the history?

Some probably no all.

Was it really built by Helio?

Yes

Was it used in SE Asia?

No

Did you use aileron into the wind on takeoff and landing?

I'm not certain.

Are you trying to hold the centerline, or are you cheating into the wind
on a diagonal to reduce the crosswind component?

I have been trying to hold centerline. I realize that, by diagonalling, the
cross wind component can be reduced, but I don't feel that I would be
developing skills.

When you use the rudder pedals, are you sliding your feet with your
heels on the floor or are your feet up off the floor on the rudder pedals?

Even with the rudder pedals in the furthest position (they are adjustable),
I can barely bend my ankle enough to land without the brakes on so I have
been using the balls of my feet on the lower part of the pedals. I am
getting and using full rudder.

Have you looked at the airspeed indicator at touchdown? What is the
indicated airspeed?

Actually I have been pretty busy at touchdown! I can tell you that it is a
lot slower than the MU-2 at touchdown!
