Nice shots and you look like you're on rails down the final.

[color=#000000]Based on my approaches, I am not qualified to judge.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Your approach is fine, but I have two remarks:
- I think you are too low. On the first shot, you should have been a bit highe than that.
- the remark above concerning your elevator is right. I don't remember if the DC-3 has a trim for the elevator, but if so, you should definitely use it. A bit of "nose-up" trim will help you to keep your aircraft more manoeuverable on final.

I'd agree with Daube - and yes the DC-3 has an elevator trim.

Nevertheless my approaches don't look that good most of the time - since flying with the german airforce (skydiving in a Transall on final)  :D

Electricity Pylons and (invisible) Power Lines suddenly appearing on a low Approach are always rather disconcerting.... :o... ;)...!

it's a matter of fact i use the elevator because i was scared that i was not gonna make it, and i didn't thought about the trim probably leaved for cruising position, like -3. or something. still a lot to take care of. but i'm working on it. thank you.
