Default First Flight!

So this morning I went to the local flying field with my beat up trainer that I got used. After an experienced pilot helping me balance and trim the plane, I flew the plane with a buddy box and another instructor. The first time he took it off the ground, then I took over. I made several low passes and on one, I was in perfect position for landing. I landed it successfully and taxied it in. I flew several more times with only minor assistance. The plane is a taildragger with big bushplane wheels, I also tried some hammerheads, but it didn't do the real well. I tried loops, rolls, stalls, and did a touch and go. All I can say it was great fun and I am flying again tomorro.
