Good flight this evening

[scottessex]

Hello all, I just got back from Macon, Ga, I left work early and drove down to preflight the gyro. I found a few items that needed attention. I hope everyone here does good preflights!

Anyhow, The weather was great, low 70's and minimal wind, so I got the discrepancy's fixed, cleaned the blades, and flew around the Macon airport for 30 min or so, a half tank of gas anyways. BEAUTIFUL! I could see for miles! The gyro flew fantastic. I took off with butterflies in my stomach, as this was the first time I have been able to get back up since I soloed over a week ago. Just a fantastic way to wrap up a day! (then I had to drive back to Atlanta) I was really able to enjoy flying and relax some today, and got up to around 1000 ft AGL. I did a couple of landings and takeoffs, I still have some trouble making a nice smooth landing, but that comes with practice. I LOVE IT!! It is just like a flying lawnchair!!

Gyro flying is just too cool!! :D

Hey Scott, Glad you had a blast today!

It was a perfect day to fly, I was at work and every time I stepped outside I would look up and think, Man! what am I doing here?!?!?!?!?!

What size shirt do you wear? I have a few left over Fly-in shirts around from different events I've been to and thought you and John might like to have some.

Later, Phil

Scott,

That flying without Steve or anyone else around for the first time does create butterflys in your tummy don't it?

I'm so glad you had a good you had a good flight. I haven't seen 1000 AGL yet bot looking forward to it. Call me later today on my cell.

Way ta go, Scott. Now is when the real fun starts. Practice some maneuver every time you go up and your confidence will grow.
