Default First Flight

Got out to the field today for my first flight with one of the instructors at the club i recently joined. We used one of the club trainers and he set me up with a buddy box.

Started off doing some ovals to the left. After getting the hang of that (and the instructor saving the plane a few times ), he had me start do some turns to the right. I figured well, I was doing OK going left, how hard could going right be?

Interestingly enough, this was much more difficult for me. Not sure this is typical, but it was kinda funny. Took a couple of flights before i could complete a full right oval, and even then, i didn't feel i was as in control as the left turns. More than a couple of times the plane got away from me.

Well fortunately my simulator will show up on Wednesday, and I'll put some work in on the rights .

All in all, it was a blast, and hopefully the weather cooperates next week to get a little more flying time in before it gets too cold.
