Default I can do it !!!

Well, it happened!!!
Something that I though was given to only a few has come to me! I though I will never ever be able to do it. My resolution from last summer/fall was: if I could only manage to perform rolling harrier on simulator by the beginning of the next summer – I would call it success.
Well after unreal number of hours on a simulator and almost giving up a few times. I can do it now! I am doing left and right rolling harriers. It is not that pretty and I get out of it once in a while, but I don’t crash and continue to do them!!!
It is only on a simulator – I do not have ability to fly a real thing - damn work is between us. And I am still learning to steer, with some success…, but I am really happy with my little steps.
Sometimes when I go to bed I close my eyes and see that “thing” rolling. It is like when I was a kid and after spending whole day playing with waives on a beach, I went to bed and still feel them carrying me back and force.

Well to those of you who are still trying to manage that damn maneuver – don’t give up! Be patient. If someone like me can do it then anybody can!!!

PS. Sometimes, I wish this forum would have more discussions of flying 3D and we would have another one for building 3D planes. I know there is a great “sticky” on this one and I am grateful to those individuals who contributed to it.
