Hey Jimmy, Welcome and good choice of dream machines. I had a "C" model for 5 years, and it took me a few days to get used to the Bravo. It is a longer, heavier, and much more powerful unit. Now that I am used to it, I find the landing a lot easier than the lighter 4 cylinder models. The heavier plane seems to settle out better, and I can grease this one in at a high percentage (C model maybe 50%). I land trimmed way way back, with full flaps and speed brakes (if X-wind, then 10 deg flaps). Good call above talking about power setting for a go-around. The way I have the unit trimmed back for landing, it would be a handfull on a full throttle go-around. I also get rid of the flaps early in the landing roll as it helps keep the plane on the ground (I have been advised to leave them full a little longer for drag during decelleration). For power settings I run similar to Bravoman 30/22.5 then lean back to 1650 TIT and end up with the same feul burn of 16 gph. Just completed a 30hr cross country west coast to east coast and back in the last 2 weeks. The airplane ran like a dream. The feul milage (not to be confused with hourly burn rate) is very close to what the C model got, we just get there in about 2/3 of the time. Fastest ground speed we saw on the GPS was 231kts at 15,500 with an upper tail wind, on the way back it was lower altitude and averaged 180 kts (headwinds). Enjoy your machine, I feel like I own a jet,
Brock
