Default RE: Maiden heaven!

Six more flights today! All went well! The winds were strong today and I feel good that I flew in it anyway with a trainer getting tossed around pretty good.

My takeoffs were all good except one where I headed left a little and needed Ed's correction, and all my landings were fine except a little bouncy mainly due to the wind lifting the plane up a little on my flares.

The landing gear struts are all taking their toll and I need to bend them back into shape before the next flights!

All in all I must be close to twenty flights so far and almost all were done without any help except being tethered by the buddy box, which I realize is still a lot of help in confidence. I'm getting more confident but still need a lot of practice before I can even think about a solo flight!

Wish me luck! Thank you!
