Aquí está lo que te comenté:

La CAP-10B (el que está al lado del timón de cola soy yo

):

y una pasada a una montaña (La Mola) cercana al aeropuerto desde el que opero, junto con una aproximación a la pista 31 en una Robin 200-120

I have to admit I'm lucky the club has so many different airplanes... from Aztecs to Buckers, quite a lot of variety. The whole fleet is composed of 27 planes, most of which are C172.

Right now I'm allowed to fly solo in non-aerobatic flight with the CAP-10B, but that will change soon

The darned thing is pretty tricky in landings, but a mother when doing aerobatics, so getting the aerobatics license won't be hard (just have to prove I can safely perform a spin, aileron roll, roll, loop, half cuban eight, and inverted flight).

And then, after many hours in the CAP-10B, they let you fly the jewel of the crown... the Z-50. 300Hp, +9/-9, constant rpm prop... and a dream to fly.

I'll add more videos to the collection as soon as I fly some more!

Nice landing - what was the approach speed and touchdown speed?

I noticed there was some crosswind, and I could tell by your movement of the stick that the plane is very twitchy and responsive - I guess thats why you mean its nice for maneuvers and not for landing

Very nice I wish I could fly that, all our planes are utility

-edit-
I just noticed that was not the CAP you landed in.
Still very nice though.
On the maneuver video I loved the way you recovered. What altittude do you practice maneuvers at?

Approach speed with the Robin is 70 kts and touchdown speed 55 kts approx.

There was crosswind, but barely noticeable.

Yes, the Robin is VERY sensitive and responsive to stick movements... one has to be patient and be veeery gentle on the stick on landing.
-edit- The CAP-10B is even MORE sensitive to stick inputs, and the rudder is as big as a sail (!!) which means you have to be extra careful with your feet.

As for the aerobatics, we usually fly at 3500-4000 asl which is about 2500-3000 agl.

Glad you liked them!
