RE: Newbie Super Cub first flight ever
Well after the first flight and crash last thursday evening.....I got back in the saddle today....but with the head instructor pilot at the airpark I go to. Well....with a couple of literal slaps to the back of my hard head....this man had me launching, controlled flying and landing just about perfect in a total of 10 mins.....lol. Once he said...your good to go and left.....I flew her 10 different times by myself...trying out different flight profiles and getting better and better feel of the controls and how she acts....well my landings started out really good and just got better and better......my last three landings in this grass field were totally perfect. I never lost control or had a hard landing at all and she still looks pretty darn new....lol.
I can't say enough about getting good instruction in this sport to get started....or of course you could just waste alot of money....lol....
Anyway.....I'll be practicing as much as I can...and want to build a really nice F4U Corsair in the future......I'm looking forward to getting to the point of feeling ready for a plane like that......I will be getting a 7 channel full programmable radio and plan on making her really nice.....it just takes patients....
Thanks for all the encouragement and hope I can help someone later when I'm a good seasoned pilot....
