Thanks guys for the encouragement! I try to fly as often as possible but that four letter word gets in the way(work).Mean while I use the sim at night for an hour or so.Think that helps with the reflex memory.Yeah haven't really mastered the use of the rudder yet but do use it some on take offs and learning to use more on my touch and goes.Ran a whole tank of gas though my trainer doing touch and go's Thurs.We did them from both directions one after the other.But the most exciting part of the whole day was my first dead stick! Ran it out of gas and brought her in with a smooth landing.Just had to walk a ways to retrieve! Really having a blast! GREAT HOBBY!
