Default Got some flying time in this weekend

I met my instructor at the field Saturday afternoon. He made a couple of adjustments on my engine and we went flying. He had me doing figure eights and started me making approaches keeping it around four feet above the field but not touching down...then I'd give it power and go around for another approach. I ended up taking off a couple of times and landing a couple of times before my battery got a bit low. I was on the cord and buddy box the whole time. Today I went over and cleaned up a large area of the pasture by my house and made three successful flights on my own. It was a blast. After a couple of takeoffs and landings yesterday, I was confident I could do it on my own. I will still get some more time with the instructor but I'll likely fly some here as well.
