Subject: video compilation of 360 landings

Hi guys,

Having had my 360 for a few months now, I thought it would be useful
for my own training to put together a compilation of landings that
I've captured on tape so far.  The video is available here in
streaming or downloadable DIVX format:

It's also available on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq-YtaIzL38

And yes, I've finally cleaned the windshield!

I've worked out a dirty stall speed (single pilot 3/4 tank) of 58KIAS.
Prior to that, I assumed it was 60KIAS. I've been using 1.3.Vso
(78kts), rounded up to 80 for my final approach speed, although
earlier on, I was using 85kts.  I'm pretty happy using 80 and will
continue with that number going forward.  As I try to get the
touchdown point more precisely dialed in, I think I'll start retarding
the throttle to idle a little sooner (if terrain allows)....the plane
does float while during the decel from 80 to 60, no doubt about it.

I recently brought the plane into Andover, a 1981ft paved strip in
calm conditions, it was a real pleasure.

The confidence is slowly building, this plane is so awesome.

For entertainment, I also have a series of deer-clearing low
approaches compiled here:

If anyone has feedback about the landings, feel free, I'm all ears.
