Wondering what some others were using for flaps, MAP, speed, etc when landing your RV8's?
I"m currently doing wheel landings with 20 degree flaps, about 11in MAP, and around 80 kts over the fence when by myself and have to pick the speed up to about 85 kts to get a decent landing with a passenger.
Seems like the faster the smoother....If I come in any slower I tend to get a bounce or two before getting firmly on the ground. Only problem with the higher speed is it takes a longer runway and I'd like to shorten the required distance.
