Today the dream is fully realized! ?I? flew my plane!
The weather was beautiful, I flew about 6 circuits with Jeff Point in his RV-6 and the landings were clicking together. We decided I was ready, so I went flying!
Flew about a half an hour, did a few practice circuits at altitude to adjust to the airplane a bit then headed back to 57C.
It was the worst landing of the day, but it all worked out.
I owe much gratitude to Jeff for making the first flights on my airplane and for helping to prepare me. I hope to pay it forward one day.
Thank you Jeff!
Video here. Please excuse the lousy video resolution. It was done in high def, but I don't understand the youtube thing. Sometimes it uploads in low res and I have no idea why.
