    [R[NA]ant] The world is changing and I aint. [/R[/NA]t]

    Foreflight is really good. My friend gave me an iPad mini. When the ipad mini breaks, I will move over to any app that runs on Android. I just cant get over the iOS ethos. I have Avare as my backups now and I get by with it just fine.

    How do you bring flaps up in a go around procedure?

    Did it by mistake in an early lesson.. airplane drops like a rock, you are trading altitude for the speed required at that flap setting. Would be interesting to do at altitude and 65 knots, 30 deg to 0 and note the alt loss.

    Do you ever wish..

    I took some pics of my first class charlie solo today. I put some comments in.. I have to laugh at myself, the progression from happiness to panic to relief is evident. Wow was it a fun morning. https://goo.gl/photos/zRTvdghuSCBu8gjx8

    Do you ever wish..

    I just had my third solo. It was by far the most memorable since no one was in the airplane the entire flight. It was so cool, I'm still giddy.

    Why is RPM Redline on a plane so much lower than a Car engine?

    Let me try to answer the question too... Power = Work/Time so its a function of time. There are two ways to make power. Big torque, little rev/min or small torque/high rev / min. That's it end of my answer. Some real world examples: So say a small displacement high speed motorcycle 4...

    Just took first flight lesson...is it normal to feel overhwhelmed?

    It seemed impossible until hour 20 for me.. I am starting to feel more comfortable now approaching 30 hrs. The stories one hears about the 7 hour solos or the guys who get their lic at 40.3 hours, I'm going to assume are gifted souls.

    Getting Ready to Solo

    I can assure you the 152 climbs at 1,200 fpm in winter with 140lbs in the left seat. Be ready for the airplane to balloon up when you put the same amount of back pressure in without the extra weight. I was not expecting that, and dropped it in harder than I wanted to the first time in.

    Sport Pilot on a budget

    Fly three time/week if you can! I do much better one or two days after my last lesson. If you want to fly two days schedule 3 or 4. If was going to start over, I would have the money reserved, in hand and out of the bank - to avoid any complaints. Somehow reserve the time, so you are not...

    What's the worst plane ever?

    An Airbus A320 I flew 6 years ago on. It was owned by Egypt Air. It was used for domestic flights. Holy worn out... I guess that is what happens when you fly in a sand blaster all your life. I will never do that again.
