    tips for staying coordinated in a power on stall

    Some planes don't have those fancy horn-things. ;) I watch the ball in the Luscombe. It can have a doozy of a wing-drop!

    Piano lessons when I was a kid went nowhere. Tried guitar awhile but quit. Learning to play the violin now. Will try piano again when I retire.

    Getting my Private Pilot Certificate in a Luscombe.

    Welcome to the club! You will learn a lot with the Luscombe. High-speed taxi is worth practicing - that's essentially what you're doing with a wheel landing. Keep the updates coming.

    Southeast PoA lunch tomorrow?

    Did not get a notification, but it's moot. I won't be flying again until my PT for rotator cuff repair is completed in a few months. :-( Looks like you guys were having fun, though.

    Flew under a 172 at 17,000’ near PHX.

    Maybe he caught a strong thermal nearby...
