Kudos to you for staying safe and in your comfort zone. If you'd practiced approach to short final at those speeds and knew what to expect. Maybe then you could feel a bit let down. But your job as a pilot isn't style points. It's to fly and land safely. For you and your loved ones. Just IMHO

And may the shinny side always be up!

Thanks, doing just that, and having a total blast! Merry Christmass and Happy New Year to all.

Congratulations ! Just had mine rebuilt also. It's a great feeling. To break her in right. Whatch the cht's drop as she breaks in and oil consumption stabolizes. Good luck. Let us Know how she progresses.

LOL! I hate it when I do fun wrong!

Now that's funny. LOL!

It was free and I knew it'd be a challenge. He offered. My sister and brother-in-law have been in the FAA 20+ years each. One's an accident investigator. They thought I bailed when I got my ticket with a DPE. With Atlanta just a short flight away, David Klingler at Fulton county checked me out.

Oh well...a literature major I am not

Oh you bad bad boy!

Well back again. Flew again all 4 directions regardless of direction, rudder trim set to neutral ( confirmed on the ground- remember g1000 indicator is off). She was like a train on rails. Took quite a while before I needed to intervene, even in a bank. Sweet! Not a rigging problem.

Thanks

Come on guys. No need to insult my flying skills. With a cross wind to the path of flight the AP WILL add a crab into the wind- but it leaves you uncoordinated. GPS or not, I don't like flying with the ball uncentered ( not to mention u lose a knot or 2 that way). So then I add rudder trim In MANUALLY. To center the ball. Also, my G1000 incorrectly depicts the rudder trim 1/2 of full to the left. Mechanically the rudder is fine. I am a bit disappointed at the tone of some of the posters here. I am certainly not the best pilot here but not the worst either. I did my transition training with Corbin Halerin of Premiere and is their saftey expert. He praised my stick and rudder skills. Not to mention I passed my biannual review with a FAA examiner at Fulton county during non-stop light to moderate turbulence ( 2 hours under the hood). He could find no faults. Would it be too much to soften the pre judgements just cause I may not be explaining this rudder trim issue to everyone's satisfaction?
