Hey Gang:

	Per Casey's request, this is also a test and request for real information.



	After 16 months of rebuilding,(New Home-built Composite Landing Gear, New  

Gear Box Ratio, Rebuilt 582 engine, Thinner Propeller, etc, etc.)



	Pulsar I N190AK has taken to the sky; but my test pilot won't release me  

for solo flight until I make some better landings.



	Today at SZP, it was blowing 20 Knots varying from 30 to 45 degrees from  

the right side of runway 4; so we're not going up today.

		1. What is the maximum cross wind the Pulsar can take?

		2. What is the pattern speed and final approach speed recommended?

		  (My instructor had me at 70 Knots in the pattern and 60 Knots on final  

which seemed to me to be 10 Knots too fast).



	Waiting breathlessly for any comments and suggestions.

I would say your speeds are about 10 kts faster than what I usually do, I only slow it to <60 kts on short final. It can handle 20 kts crosswind, but it depends on how gusty or steady it is. If it is real gusty, even less can get you into trouble.

The worst crosswind component that I landed in was somewhere in Oklahoma at a short, deserted strip. I was in my plane and Doug was in his plane. It was an adventure and I'd have to look in my logbook because I put it in there as a special note. I want to say it was 17 kts. But this was the 90 degree component. Based on your description, the component was in the 7-14 kt range.
