I know you guys who already have your PPL probably will find this thread boring, but for those of us that are struggling to make our dream, it might help.
Yesterday and today I finally got the weather and time (guts) to go out in my RV6 after soloing on the 5th. I really had to push myself mentally (because I'm a chickensh*t), but made it into the air yesterday at about 8 am, flew for about an hour and a half, then came in and landed. All worked out pretty good. (Actually real good, didn't hurt myself or the plane).
Today went out at about 3 pm. Pretty weather, felt better. Flew up to Lufkin and back. Problem was coming back into Conroe. Air Guard doing autorotaions at the field, jets arriving, every squirrel in the world wanting to fly. I was number 5 in the pattern to land, tower radio non stop. When it came my turn to sit it down...........Worked out well. Made one of the best landings I have made, made the first turn off.
Hey, if an Oldfart like me can do it............so can you.
