Hey Doc, congratulations! I suspect you'll get a bazillion answers to the questions you asked, but after it's all over, you'll develop your own style and approach to flying the Coupe. When I purchased 93405, I couldn't find anyone to give me any information. Worse, I couldn't find an instruction who was checked out in a Coupe. Bummer. I ended up taking her up with a buddy a couple of times prior to being checked out. I found out she's just a good old plane, and if you have any experience, you'll do just fine. For the record, I now give her full up trim on take off, and just let her accelerate down the runway until she becomes airborne on her own. About 75 mph. I used to try and horse her up a little sooner, but she didn't like that. On landing, I once again use full up trim, and cut to about 1800 rpm. That gives me about 85 mph, and a good glide slope. I don't cut power until I'm flaring for touch down. Hold her up to slow speed, but watch you don't get below about 65, or it'll be bumpy. Have fun.
