Thanks.  It was a crash the first try.  First I got into a lot of circling
around trying to figure where to land and how to approach it.  This resulted
in quite a few near misses with the buildings.  Then once I decided the
approach, I came down too fast and went around to the east (big mistake) where
there were a bunch of buildings and flew right in to one.  I'm almost there as
far as getting it...hovering in slowly is a lot like balancing a pole or stick
vertically in the palm of your hand (or maybe even more like spinning a plate
on a stick which I've never tried).  It involves a constant flow of miniscule
adjustments... probably hundreds per minute.

Best,

Jim
