Last Fall I took my old Flite Streak w a Fox 35 and flew for the first time in maybe 16 years. I knew how to fly but was pretty easily dizzied. Thank goodness for lazy eights. I wasn't too steady on my feet. The old buddies at the field say that will get better. I'm not sure, 64 now, not as spry as I used to be. But I think some practice like I did when I was first learning, just circling, I might be able to get used to it again. Shorter flights in the beginning might also help. When I was flying last Fall, I really felt unsteady with the feeling that I could fall. But the true controliner in me wouldn't let it happen. Just some thoughts from my experience. I do hope to fly controline this Spring.
