I have a Dove I which will slow down with the flaps, but I don't usually try to hand catch it. When I fly my HLG Chrysalis, the normal flight speed is fairly low and the plane doesn't weigh much. That makes hand catching a joy. Dick - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Richard C.
