Status: offline 		Just got started in RC planes...ordered my first kit yesterday (a Taylorcraft). I'm currently trying to make a living as a flight instructor (you all know how tough that is!), building time for the next adventure. I've been flying in Alaska for the last year or so, and it looks like I might get to fly a bush hawk and possibly some beavers, and otters this summer with a 135 outfit (IF I get the job...). I love flying, and flying RC planes is definitely something I see myself spending alot of time and money on...*laughs*

Status: offline 		Pilot in training here. I am currently working on my single engine commercial. I got my Instrument rating a couple months ago. I am applying for a flying slot in the Air Force this year so hopefully I can finish my commercail then just do all the rest with the Air Force. I am currently a Jet engine mechanic on C-130's and Ia m statioed at Little Rock AFB, AR. Here is a couple pics of me. One with the C-172 I fly from time to time and the other with a Diamond DA-20 Katana. I also attached a link to a video of my take off in a Katana. If you listen close you can hear the stall warning when I rotate. Damn thing did evertime that day even 10 knots over rotate speed.




Take off in a Katana

Status: offline 		Danny - be SAFE!. Know your traffic patterns. Grease jobs are great, BUT, the check pilot will be looking at other things.

I instructed Navy in the T-34. for 3 years, and I was a check pilot at NAAS SAUFLEY, and that's what we all looked for.

Status: offline 		I fly ag planes mostly, and a bellanca super viking. Currently I'm building a swearingen sx300. Most of my time is in a cessna 188, we used to have 8 of them. Now we're down to one I just found a model kit of a 188, so maybe sometime soon we'll have another cessna cropdusting for the little fields (maybe I could fertilize my backyard)

Status: offline 		Right now I have 17.5 loged hours in the Cessna 172. I can do all but good landings. This is the only thing holding me back from SOLO.
I fly twice a week for 1.3 - 1.5 hrs averaging about 7-10 landings. I feel is not enough...If I could find somebody to fly with (not at the $$$ school rates) for one day 6-8 hrs I could master those landings.
I am at the point that I push myself to much to perform in the short time and I don't have the gained built in reflex.
I can land the plane safe all the time but perfect and smooth...

Status: offline 		I just got my Private Pilot License last summer. I'll be going all the way in my training, making a career out of it. I'll be finishing up my training in Florida in January after I graduate from Western Michigan University in December. I just have to pick a flight school; either Phoenix East in Daytona Beach, Flight Safety in Vero Beach, or Crystal River Aero Group in Crystal River. Any tips for an aspiring pilot are greatly appreciated, especially if any of you have any experience with the flight schools I'm looking at!

I also have a tailwheel endorsement in a J-3 Cub. What a fun little plane!!! I got my PPL in a 1965 Cessna 172F, though I have 22 hours in a Cirrus SR20 from when I flew at WMU. I have 76.5 hrs total time racked up so far.
