Cal Air 63 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi All, Had my (TIF) today at Redcliffe (YRED), very very windy but thanks to Wayne, my instructor at Fly Now Redcliffe, we manage to get some air time Wayne took us up in their Sportstar and taught me same basics regarding Effects of Controls, even with the constant buffering from the wind and a very scary crosswind landing, I've got the flying bug Going forward, the plan is to learn with their Tecnam P92, unfortunately I am a big bloke, so some diet and exercise is now also part of my learning to fly experience My mindset is go, just have to get the body to stop saying no, lol. Have been given homework for my next lesson, so now have to concentrate on achieving both goals Brent 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearo Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Brent, if you were not scared off by that crosswind today, you will be a natural! It was pretty rugged at YRED. I got close to testing my personal limits today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
