MrDHEJ, glowplug, MinnFlyer, Ghostbear, and vegas mossie,

Thanks, I do consider that a very valuable lesson. (And was thinking of going up alone... NOT!)
I do have an instructor - thanks for keeping me in check!

I couldn't beleive just how complicated it became when first trying to start this on my own - thank goodness for new found friends ("dbow").

And the tip on the "good shoes"... I'll take your word for it.

It looks like tomorrow is the day, providing we have the weather for it, if not, Sunday! Finally.

Happy Flying!
"MacAir"
