Got the Cap out for a couple of flights Sunday afternoon.
Got it inverted and brought it low to the ground and it got away from me, I got it right side up with the engine rpm pretty low.
Turned it away from the pits and towards a few trees. Somehow I ended up going in between two trees and exited without touching
any of the branches. It was out of sight for a split second, by this time I had applied power and pulled up on the stick the airplane flew
up and away from the trees. Recovered it for landing and brought it to a decent landing still shaking from the experience.
Still do not know how I made it between the trees without breaking anything.
This is going to be a good airplane to fly just have to learn and watch it as it can get ahead of me pretty easy.
So far (due to weather) I only have four flights on this plane and I'm starting to like it as it will be a new learning experience.
The second flight was without incident as I wanted to get it back up and calm my nerves down a little bit. The second landing was
agian decent as I was landing the speed dropped off pretty fast and it dropped right on the runway which supprised me as I'm used
to coming in with speed on my planes and bouncing the landing.
Wish I had this on video as it was a intresting flight.
Anyone else get theirs out this weekend, I know the weather has been bad for alot of fliers around the country.
