RE: Self taught flying - My diary / progress
I tried to get back into the field but was miles off. I crash landed 20 feet up a willow tree.
Anyway I got it back but had to take the wings off whilst up the tree.
By now it was getting to be bad light and there was a small puncture to the film on one win tip. 5 minute fix.
Ill fit the thunder tiger 42 tomorrow and try a full flight with some touch and go. I definitely need a reliable engine in order to get more air time.
Ill come back to the magnum when I have time. I'll not give up totally just yet.
Sorry guys, no video but ill have some over weekend. I'm happy that after another few take offs I still have my plane and that was in some wind. In a way the wind gives me a longer runway to land on so not too bad. My last take off was even down wind but the wind had dropped. The grass was long and without wheel control taxiing is crappy so just decided to try it
My next flight will likely be Saturday evening I guess.
