Today was a big day! I went to the field expecting more of the same from yesterday, and wasn't disappointed. I had some trouble lining up. Worked with the same guy, and one other today. Then, I just started getting it right so we started the landings again.
One very minor crash and two good landings later they said, "you're ready." I didn't think so..

Crash shook me, I came in, made my final turn short and as I figured out I was off the runway in the tall grass, (something Greg was already telling me anyhow LOL) I was already too low. Greg had gotten so used to me pulling out of these he didn't react in time, and my wheels hit the grass flipping her over and busting the prop. Some minor dings to the fuse, but nothing that made the airplane unflyable. A little CA, a new propeller, and off we went.

So I'm sitting there after they tell me I'm ready, stewing. Burt, the other guy helping packs up to go. I ask him if he's sure I'm ready he says yes. So I ask Greg after he finishes his final flight of the day if he really thinks so, he says yes. So i ask him to stand by me in case I get in trouble, and up she goes NO CORD.
Strangely, I was no more nervous than I had been while on the cord. Flew her around a couple circles, made two or three high passes over the runway to be sure I could still line up, and committed to the landing. We came in short, and in the grass strip runway which means I was left of mark, hit hard enough to prop strike but no harm other than killing the motor.. A landing without the cord!!
