Solo
Been away from the forum for a while but I always like to come here and see what new information is handy. I decided to just go ahead and fly my plane a few weeks past. It was a good day and feeling slightly cocky as it is said I readied up the old trainer and proceded to fire her up. My buddy IP said what you going to do with that and I said fly or die. So at that point I had opened my mouth and had to fly. All went well, just landed a little long but was able to taxi back. Felt like the time I really flew solo. The next Sat tried it again and was sucessful except landed off runway. Long story short have had four flights now and by golly seem to be getting worse. Broke a prop on last flight. It is coming together but now beginning to get cold feet for I feel a runway plant coming up. Still gonna keep at it and hope I do not splatter the plane for it is the only one I have, so time will tell. Just goes to show that newbys are never as good as they think at first. I am however beginning to fly the plane instead of the opposite. One habit I have started is brushing the trim by accident while flying. That can get exciting. One fella aske me what was all that about and I replied, survival. Thanks for the good site here for sure. gphil
