Bought a GCBC this summer

Went over a 100 landings today

Still hard

flying a Baron is MUCH easier.

Do you have a preference yet? 2 point or 3 point landings?

Pics??
I got a line a Citabria, not sure fabric refurb is worth it,
Just saying

Not sure how much different the Super Decathlon lands than a Citabria, but I would rather land the Super D any day over a 182!

I logged over 100 landings in the first 30days I started flying our 7GCBC. I now have over 500 landings since April of 2014.
The leaf spring on the tail wheel broke and is being repaired now. After it is fixed it will be for sale. This is an outstanding 7GCBC 180hp with VG's, 4 point shoulder harness front and rear, double puck brakes, new metal wings and life time struts in 2005.

I'm up to almost 30 hours, and 87 landings in my 7ECA. And yes, it's more challenging than landing a trike, but it's also a LOT more fun for me. I can go out and fly a 1/2 hour doing nothing but stop-and-go landings, and have a blast.

I also have a great time just cruising along flying low-and-slow, enjoying the cooler weather (down to 85*F these days - woohoo!) and checking out the scenery. In hindsight, I believe that with the faster airplanes I've owned, I probably flew a lot farther, but actually SAW a lot less of what I flew over. This plane keeps you far more "in contact" with the world around you...

Wish I lived where the leaves turn multi-colors. Around here, the leaves pretty much go from green to brown overnight, with a few exceptions.

tailwheel aircraft are not difficult to land, the just land differently than trikes. Take the airplane up to an "airwork" altitude. Practice slow flight configured for landing (assumes you have flaps down if you have them) and learn to fly the airplane slow. Get confident with flying slow, and when you learn that the airplane will still be controllable at much lower airspeed, you'll find that planting the main gear becomes much easier and you don't have the tendency to bounce if the wing is done flying.

I had a super D and once I came to terms with how slow it would fly, my landings improved dramatically.

Exactly. I can cross the fence in the Bonanza 20 knots too fast and most often the only problem is I use twice as much (or more) runway. Try 3 pointing the Husky before the wing is completely done flying and things get rather busy and unpredictable fairly quickly. Aside from great fun of flying low, slow, and any 500 foot stretch of sorta flat ground looking like an airport, a great benefit of learning to fly my tailwheel toy is how much better I find I'm landing the Bonanza.

I agree and have over 100 landings in three months with my RV-8. What is great is that I can do a circuit every two minutes and it does beautiful closed patterns.

Do you have a preference yet? 2 point or 3 point landings?

All landings are 3 point. Some just start on the front wheels.
