Coming in a little too hot!! Tune your engine for lower RPMs on idle by opening the low needle a hair or if it's tuned good lower the throttle action with trim.
, Engine sounded fine through the whole range. On Walbro carb low needle mostly idle reliability, high needle for high but both affect the overall range and RPM assuming no obstruction remaining fuel can stay in carb when transition hi to low and low to hi. Your transitions the few I heard sounded fine. If you reduce you idle further through the servo you most probably need to re-adjust the needles. Not knowing where you needles are to start you can't depend on just opening or closing the low end. You'll need to experiment and adjust both probably.
Why is she heavy,? Repairs, ? perhaps? Or some other reason? A crosswind is still providing lift, she'll yaw into the wind, it didn't seem to affect takeoff, perhaps less flap might be better. From your take off she seemed to lift in a very short distance. She looked like she would rotate over on take off, perhaps a little nose heavy, but not excessively so. Look at the distance for actual take off when you finally committed throttle to take off, once you saw she wouldn't nose over, short distance, an overweight plane can't take off in such a short distance and with that climb. And your aborted landing, she jumped into the air. When you got way down the runway she bounced on idle and floated, which means a slower landing is probably possible. Elevator is too sensitive and maybe nose heavy, you had established a reasonable descent at idle, on landing, sure you were carrying momentum, but your low approach and not slow flying her, gave you no room or experience to work with. Getting used to her should involve some slow flight with and without flaps to get used to her landing characteristics, at high altitude, What do you learn that can help you land without damage by only ripping around the pylons at full throttle?
You got that brother? You can fix it Aloha from the big island of Hawaii beautiful territory. I wish I had that field Aloha brother.

Will do thanks

By the way, you one hell of a flyer.
Thank you very much
On that 51, needs to learn how to slow fly it, not so slow to stall but not like an F-16.
Do you remember the CG of this plane.

I’ve gone deaf
