RE: Images - Bev & Joel Flying A Trainer
Geistware, I was terribly afraid of the wind when I first started last May, but now when the weather channel says 15-20, I'm thrilled. I finally understood the difference between airspeed and ground speed. I can control the plane so much better on short final and landing in the wind, even if it's crosswind, and I'm crabbing in. I can't wait until I am at the point you are. Now I'm practicing figure 8's so I can tackle right pattern approach. My brain says turn right, but sometimes my fingers still turn left.(over the trees, the highway, etc) I guess it really is just a matter of stick time. From what you say, it sounds like the learning curve never really ends. (BTW I love watching rolling circles...maybe someday) Thank you for all your encouragement. You really do need to get down to our air field.
