That i only found out when i arrived at the field to install a radio i brought from the US. I had my doubts, but i figured Argentina is like Texas, one big grass runway, just avoid the cow chips... It was an interesting adventure. Lost 1 qt of oil per leg, and it was "IFR" all the way | |

| May 21, 2019 at 13:17 | comment | added | GdD | Well..... questions asking for opinions are actually off-topic @JuanJimenez. You might get better results in a forum. | |
| May 21, 2019 at 13:15 | comment | added | Juan Jimenez | @GdD That's true, but nothing wrong with getting opinions for various aircraft, with notes on their quirks. :) | |
| May 21, 2019 at 13:14 | comment | added | Juan Jimenez | Oh I got turned alright, but it was at the final destination. It was dark, the chart said they had runway lights, but said squat about not having enough money to buy bulbs. I darn near landed on a road next to the field. Good thing the little store at the end was open and lighted. Nothing either about a dirt runway turned to mud. 450 degree groundloop, no damage. "Another happy landing in South America!" :) | |

| May 21, 2019 at 13:11 | comment | added | Robert DiGiovanni | Approach and touchdown should be similar. On the roll-out once rudder authority is less than side force a little more brake on the lee side might help. But it might be good to have a little patch of clear area on the windward side in case it gets turned. | |
