I had the exact same kind of landing Wednesday in Cedar City, Utah. The wrong runway was in use and I didn't question it until after I'd already landed. As always, another great video, Ted.
haha! I don't do FF if I'm local unless I'm going into the charlie. it's funny to hear students getting it to go to MMV. dabbling with video of flying in the LAX airspace last week. that was busy FF!
My first reaction to watching this is: man your engine has a different sound. My second reaction: I wonder how long it would take me to get used to flying a stick rather than a yoke. 3rd: I suspect if I didn't know you, if someone told me "aircraft type is a flight design" I wouldn't have a clue about what that meant. I'd be tempted to ask on frequency: "What kind of airspeed should I be looking out for?" 4th: Man you fly into some amazing scenery 5th: unusual place for fuel selector. Seems like an autopilot is almost mandatory in order to be able to switch tanks. Can you run on both?
1: heh, yeah, the engine sounds different. angry sewing machine, though less of a blaring noise than a big displacement. 2: I have a few hours in a yoke, a few in a stoke, and the rest in a stick. it's an easy switch. about like a push-pull throttle vs quadrant. 3: speed is totally right! I usually say "light sport" when they don't recognize it, I could just call myself a Cessna 150 and they wouldn't know much difference- similar-ish speeds and appearance for calling traffic. 4: I knowww. 5: I run "both" about 95% of the time. On very long XCs I'll often run the left tank until there's about 1/4 tank, then run both. I use the Dynon "switch fuel tanks" 30 minute reminder to check fuel levels and look at the tank selector, and then look at the tank selector on my BUGS (GUMPS) check to build the habit.
The scenery, telemetry data, and of course the flying: SO GOOD. Love the content!

What kind of landing issue? Just how my crosswind correction was wrong?
Was through UT last week.
Your video made me realize that I actually never use flight following… so I never have any altitude restriction except when in Class D at KHIO :)
