Dan,

Yup, made a couple of small bounces yesterday.Â* Landings are really
pretty uneventful and I generally do them as you described.Â* I was
recalling a particular take off from a ranch strip on the Continental
Divide, with soft dirt, left quartering tailwind, and down hill.Â* Took
most of the strip to get airborne, but there was a wide, gentle valley
ahead to gain altitude.Â* In the other direction was a head wind, but up
hill, into the side of a mountain which would require maneuvering to
miss the rocks and then dive down a canyon to gain speed and then
altitude.Â* If I had it to do again, I think I'd take the up hill, into
the rocks, choice.

I don't think I'll take our "Goose" back there, but I'll certainly take
the gyro once it's built and tested.

Dan when we had our 180 I found she would three point as easily as other draggers IF I cranked in all of the up-trim available and kept just a smidge of power on. If I didn’t then it definitely was bounce bounce lol.
