Well i met the gang at the field this morning and we were able to take the Avistar up. no buddy box as the cord isnt even available yet for the new Futaba connection. Instructor took off and handed it off to me, I flew race track patterns until I couldnt stand it any more. Upon the next start up we were trying to make the engine richer to no avail, then we noticed i had a hell of alot of bubbles in the fule lines Anyways nobody had any fuel line so i had to pack up and head home. Will try again tommorrow. All the old guys said i did great and all agreed I do not need a boddy box. BUT with all the worry on here now I feel I need one, guess my confidence is shot now :stupid: No worries though I hope to attempt some low landing pattern work tommorrow to low transitions. Then maybe once I get a few more flights I will attempt to touch down, we'll see. I will keep you all posted, thanks for all the freindly advice, I am very glad I waited for an instructor as my knees were literally knocking together once he handed me the txmtr.
