  I've got about 1,000 hours in my 235 and just love the plane and have never had any difficulty in managing it's flight characteristics, which are a bit different, primarily because of reduced flap extension and smaller tail surfaces than later models.  A flatter approach with a tad of power has allowed me to fly it safely everywhere I've gone.  It is a superb little cross country plane and I have flown it all over the U.S.. . . .but I don't land on grass runways.  Small tires and firm struts dictate hard surfaces.  I flew the U-2 for 9 years and to a degree they are similar on landing. . .be gentle and use precise airspeed control!  Pat Halloran
