So i have been in contact with this nice instructor as a nearby Club. So finally the weather looks good and off i go..


40 min later i arrive at the field at 8am.. Early bird gets the wurm? =)

we meet up.. Chat it up some and generally just talk about everything and anything. He shows me 2 of his planes he brought.. I took out my plane and we looked it over.. checked everything out Did some adjusting.. tweaked this that..


Needless to say by now IM Shaking in my boots excited.
Take in mind.. my only flight experience is about 20 seconds of a foamy before it decimated it self =)



So He says.. hey i got a trainer box would you like to Come up and try out my plane for a bit..

*stomach dropped* considering basicly it was going to be comming to the field.. checking out.. us breaking in/going over my plane and just all the general run of the mill stuff.


SO with a pretty strong wind.. he took it off.. made it look easy lol.. The plane was kinda shaking around.. definatly windy he was saying and yeah maybe this isnt a good time to try.. but We went for it..

he gave me the count down.. 3...2...1... Your control



I practiced just like in the flight sim doing a Figure 8.. nice and easy.. round and round.. after about 1 min.. he said.. Are you sure you have never flown before.. I smiled and said.. first time .. really =-) He retook control and brought it in for a very smooth landing.

We talked about what i was doing up there.. controls alierons how to keep the plane level when turning and not go up or down.. All in all.. was just freeking awesome.

After a bit of that I asked him if he would take my plane up and just see how it flies that kinda stuff. He said sure.. and went over it it crashes i cant go after him all that legal stuff. yadda yadda..


SO We got my nexstar all fueled and ready.. Go time..

I taxied it onto the run way.. and gave the control over..

he trippled checked everything.. and throttled it up.. It pulled down the runway.. and them Voosh.. it pulled skyward.. I was in awe.. literally. it was pure bliss at that point. after a few trims it was flying awesome.. after a short time he brought it in.. little hot.. and it made a smooth awesome landing.



So we chatted and talked planes and Everything.. All in all 4 hours later.. Im even more hooked then before.


So I just submited my AMA registration.. and this week ill be attending a club meeting and joining up with them so i can continue my training.


Heres a few pictures from the day.
