Default The Wonder of Real Flight

I had been away from flying for about 20 years, and recently got RFG2. Been flying it to re-aquire my skills and have to say it was a HUGE help. First time I tried G2, I crashed on takeoff with the PT-40. Now I can scream around with the Harrier with ease.

In the past month, I have re-built by Sig Kadet Mk1 and a Great Planes PT-E.

Yesterday (12-18-02) was the "big" day. Made it out to the flying field and 4 had excellent flights with both planes. I am back! Even had to deadstick the Kadet due to engine failure, guess 20 years on the shelf for a K&B 40 was a bit much, but the landing was on the runway center line and was one of the best landings I had ever done. Just greased it on!

If it wasn't for the simulator, I would have re-kitted both of them.

Now, on to my Mig 29!

Later!
