LOL! Believe me, it is hard for me to watch too! We did spend time review the speeds at each leg of the flight however, with my issues with trimming the plane, I lost all focus on anything else.

Just threw my video if anyone is interested. Gonna try it again Friday. Hopefully with better results! https://youtu.be/3SGEusW7c-Q

Lance, thanks for the offer! I will do that... I wish I could get to the breakfast Saturday but, I already have plans. I will hit you up in the near future though! Eric

Thanks ETTSN, the advice I have gotten here gives me confidence I'll do better Friday. You're right! Mike is awesome.

Congrats on the HA endorsement. It ran great, no hesitation or sputtering and pulled fine. They have it posted at $159/wet.

It by no means a beauty queen on the inside but, it is functional. As long as everything I need works, I am good with it.

Funny you should mention that! I did find the reach a little long when trying to brake. I figured I didn't have the seat up far enough. E

Maruader. unbelievable! You captured everything, I mean everything I was experiencing. From the nose down @ full flaps, to the heavy input on go-around! It does have electric trim but, I didn't use it until my return trip back to home base. It was a significant difference. Thanks for the...

I am quite sure it is me and my unfamiliarity with the plane. I need alot of work, especially trimming it out. From the time I reduced power when I was abeam the numbers until short final I was constantly trimming to reduce back-pressure on the yolk. It was frustrating as I never felt like I...

So the flight school I used to get my PPL has a Mooney M20 and has ok'd me to attempt to get checked out in it and get my complex endorsement. I figured since I took to the Archer and was checked out in it in about an hour, the Mooney would not present too many issues. Holy crap!:eek: It is a...

Congrats! Can't wait til I get there.

Good Luck!

I took my sixteen year old daughter for her first flight on my first flight with a passenger. I am so glad I did because it was the most fun I have had since I first started flying. I record the vast majority of my flights and I am so glad I got this one. We had a blast and it was a very...

I am sure you have already thought of this but make sure your FAR/AIM is 2015.

Yeah RatherB, I just got checked out in an Archer moving from my trainer, a DA20 and am experiencing the same thing. There is a little learning curve because your field of vision in the Diamond is much greater that the limited view you get with the Cessna. I find myself transitioning to level...

Awesome! You must have trained in a HP plane? Way to go!

Great! Thanks. I will see him Saturday.

Very good point!

**This was my experience, yours may be and probably will be different** My oral started roughly around 8:45a yesterday. I woke early and studied a little more and got to the school around 7:30. I decided to do the preflight early so I would have that done. I had planned on telling him after...
