Default RE: Another Newbie!

Well had flights 38 thru 42 tonite. Take off, approach, land! Take off, touch and go....whoops, sorry, landed. Take off, wind change reverse your pattern, approach, touch and go........whoops, sorry again, landed. Take off, land.

Fixed the nose wheel, ah much better! Take off, winds shifted again! Bring it all the way around to reverse pattern. OK, approach, get your nose up! get your nose up!! Wings level, cut throttle, nose up........perfect landing! Take off again.

This is the way it was, I was the only trainee for the first hour. It was the busiest time I ever had flying! I was doing pretty good, but getting exhasuted. Probably due to the fact the number of times I ran onto the field to get my plane. She took a beating tonite but flew like a trooper! She was flying better as time rolled on! Mud and grass all over! Our field is kinda ......moist! I called it a day after someone showed up with the same frequency. My battery was at 4.7 so I disassembled and cleaned her up!! I stuck around and took some pictures with my digital camera. I'll post some pictures later!

Over all a most excellent day at the field!
