Nice landings! Curious if the Tan glare panel multiplies the sun intensity when landing with the sun right off the nose? Some beautiful stitch work on it but wonder if a matte black fabric partial covering would help. Also... are you using speed brakes on most landings? Thanks for continuing with the frequent great posts!
The lighter color probably didn't help, but the dirty canopy was the real problem. I'll be sure to clean it before every flight now. As you noticed, landing was a bitch. I lost sight of the runway twice on short final.
Dual landing on the left wing. I need to change them out for the newer LED bulbs. There is a pulse system that will alternate them on/off. Great for daytime visibility.
Watch directionnal control on takeoff and the gear retract is slow for a Legacy! Give it some, very slight right rudder trim, and don’t forget…Right foot Pressure !Overall acceptably done !
You definitely jumped into a beast that I'd love to have! You are going to have be aware of your airspeed below 10k'. Enjoy the heck out of it!!!
So happy for you getting to this point

To a Skyhawk pilot, that thing is a missile! You fly that thing very well. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the nice comment. It's been a real adventure!
Nicely done, what type of landing lights does it have?

Nice Plane Steve. How does the Legacy fly compared to the VL3? Eric, Dallas.
Absolutely NO comparison….The legacy is a league on its own.
