Fwd view .... Series 5

[84KF 4]

Here is what you have to work with...

This shot is eye level, and was taken in the run-up area, hence the pavement you see on the left.

And don't make fun of my pine tree air freshener hanging there in the upper right.....

   It gives it that "new plane " smell.

that is the same view I get on the mod II.  I just line up slightly off centerline.  With the left wheel on the centerline, I can keep things straight.  At touchdown, I am not at a full 3 point, but I do transistion from looking ahead to looking out the side and down at the wheel or the runway lights.  Kind of like doing glassy water landings.. you dont land out in the middle of the lake, you land near the shore line and watch the shore to see where the water is as you cant tell by looking down.  That is one reason why I like lakes with lillypads.. as long as you land in the pads, you know there is enough water there and can see the surface just fine..

By the way.. I am jealous again.. I am back at work for 3 weeks and you are out flying....
