Brief Description:  Flight 74 - end Phase I

1.0 flight time, 3x around pattern. 41.1 total time. Maximum gross weight flight. 5 1/2 gallons indicated when I rolled it out this morning. Added 5 gallons prior to flight. 220 lbs ballast, 205 lbs pilot, ~665 lbs plane, ~10 gallons fuel (60 lbs, at takeoff) = 1150 lbs, cg 67.57". On landing, indicated 7 gallons, 1132 lbs gross, cg 67.91". Did turns, steep turns both directions. Slow flight with and without flaps. Power off stalls with and without flaps. Returned to pattern. Did 3 landings. First one, didn't anticipate the tail weight, bounced, recovered into 3-point. The other two were wheelies and worked fine. 108 landings on this 2nd half of the tires - and not as worn as the first half, so taxi distance is a factor. Listened to TUS apch during the flight - he called me as traffic to another plane and my mode C was right on. So I know that's working.
