That describes the Gazelle for me. The ailerons are light and powerful even at low speed, thanks to their "Junkers" trailing edge design. The elevator is now better, thanks to some gap seal tapes. It handles very sweetly which is what makes it easy to fly.

I assumed you saw me because I was landing on RWY 23. I was landing it West Sale, on the secondary grass runways, runway 23. My aircraft is also dark blue in colour. There was a Beech Musketeer parked on the apron idling, facing towards the runway threshold, I assumed that was you?

No the musketeer is Russell the CFI.

I thought there may have been more than one gazelle. I don't know what aircraft live at the eastern end. There was a nice kitfox flew in as well.

Yeah that's Ben's Kitfox. He did a masterful job in building that. If you get a chance, go have a look, if you want to see how an aircraft kit should be built, or can be built! Outstanding work.
