Well ready for my pre solo stage check. Took the written and just waiting for time with the chief.

Like many have said pitch for cruise speed, set power , and trim. And just keep the mental picture of level. But what do I know. I only have 10 hours lol

Well 10 hours into it and enjoying every minute. E wife still doesn't like it but still see. This week has been plagued with bad weather. Hopefully I can salvage tomorrow. Next week I have 4 days planned in a row.

This is not mine but an example

Ya.. at times have the same problem. But if you place the camera on the window to the left facing you and front you will get a clear shot.

Ya I will ask him on monday

Today i added 1.5 hours of training. So think that will be 6 total. Just touched up steep turns, power off and on stalls, and slow flight for stage 1check. Radio talk a bit better untill my landing again. Then I was ****ed about them and my selective hearing was on lol. I'm still a bit tentative...

You need to make sure that the splitter is parallel or not it will drop volume. Make sure you have it in the mic in spot.. and setting audio in. The phone will work but battery life might not last well. I bought a Sony voice recorder and it was on sale. Works great and battery is still full and...

I do the same as abqtj. I use a voice recorder attached to a 1/4 male with parallel dual female and a 3.5 mm to 1/4 cable. I sync it together later..

Well update, I am 4.5 hours into training. I been recording my flights. I have only recorded 2 flights because the damn adhesive from go pro didn't hold up. I would see if the suction cup would work on that plastic ? My wife still doesn't like it but she didn't say anything. And once in a while...

My issue wouldn't be finances. It's more if the better half would go Cray cray if I did buy a trainer. Plus I wouldn't know the proper steps in making sure to that I am not buying a money pit lol..

Ya but I just wanted to keep the hours to a minimum and not make it take to long.. while it's good weather lol

Well my second flight ( first lesson) went well. Took the c172 this time. Just did taxi, take off, level flight, descend, and climbs. Also he talked me through my landing. Wasn't the best landing lol. The CFI let use my GoPro and I also recorded the intercom communication. I will mostly use it...

I went by the airport he was near since that is where my flight school is. Many rumors. Think the two are stall / spin but leaning towards fuel exhaustion. Rip

I really enjoyed the response with the center stick. Now I need to pick which plane I want to train in.. c152' c172 or the symphony 160.. the c152 is about the same size as the s160. But the 160 has bit more power.. I guess need to see how big my instructor is lol.

Ya.. but the school gets recommend alot. I bet a few of the problems also was my schedule and weather. We had a week of bad weather when I first went then with my schedule I wanted an afternoon flight. Each time I went they did seem like the whole day booked. I needed to book ahead of time but...

Well i have to give an update. Sorry if a bit long. The school I am looking at didn't have times for me to get an intro flight for past weeks. So I just focused on FAA test studies , got my 3rd class medical ( which the Dr who has flown for decades tried to talk me out of it lol) and spent time...

Thanks!.. I see the pattern with the replies. I been reading a lot and feeling bit better. And just trying to feed that over to the wife. But we are human. And we do make mistakes. It's just hopefully we do the best that we can do when the time comes that we make a mistake it's a small one and...

Of course right when I was sending post above the wife had news on and a Cirrus crashed in San Antonio killing the pilot. He was not far from kssf which is where my flight school is

Thanks for all the replies. I have been slowly introducing it more to her but by bit. I also used her love for dogs . Found" pilots n paws". Lol. Just to update folks. I basically know gleim inside and out for the written. Getting my medical next week. The flight school that I will attend wants...
