Default RE: OMG I did it!!!!!!!

I was impressed by your second flying. your takeoff was very good for a newbie need a little work but that will come with practice. for me my 5 takeoff slammed into tall grass on the side. takeoffs didn't look real good until I hit about 20. I noticed that you were in a left bank pattern. I hope that you are not getting into the habit of flying behind yourself, this is ok if you are at your own site but is frowned upon when you go to any other club flying site. One thing to watch out for when you start reversing your direction of turns, you get used to left to bank and right to staighten and it gets ingrained in you so that when you go right to bank then want to staighten a lot of beginners then hit right to staighten and roll the plane inverted. this is just something to think about if you have no instructor on the buddy box to back you up. keep it high and good luck you have a great start.
