Does anyone else practice slow flight for extended periods in anticipation of the Fisk arrival? I went out and tortured the RV-10 for about 20 minutes today following a local road... I figure my "abort" speed is about 72 knots on the 90 knot approach...
Oh, and descending turns to land from a right downwind. Gotta do a couple of those too. Problem is... if there's anyone else anywhere near the field, they are really bothered when you announce a RIGHT downwind and base.
What else do y'all do in the lead-up to Airventure? I've already started weighing stuff... Looks like I'm gonna have 3 full seats on the way there and pick up a 4th to bring home. Even with the RV-10's load lifting capabilities, that leads to compromises.
