Jim-
I have been flying with Paul Wood the last couple of days finishing up his recurrencey training in his 170 at Bridgeport and he pointed out your new 170. I got a chance to walk over and look at it today. Nice straight airplane! Congratulations!

Thanks
Means a lot coming from you guys.

I got back last night from a work trip and went out fun flying today. Flew a little over four hours. Great flying plane and faster than my A. Probably the wheel pants. Most of the flying between the A and the B are very similar , except when the flaps are out. Need a little more practice on flare. The B is a little more sensitive to pitch in the flare than the A was. I’ll adjust a little more and all will be good.

Richard, sorry I missed ya. Maybe next time.
