Ah, the ol' "tense up" scenario. Well, I'm no old pro, but I've been dealing with a similar issue as you. I've just broken double digits for my hours, and haven't done my solo yet...so take everything I say with a grain of salt (although, going through this right now may add to my credibility...

Sheesh...I'd be happy if my centerline problems were only on takeoff. ;)

Congrats! I'm not, happy, though. I'm already going to add on my tailwheel endorsement when I finish, and now you are motivating me to just do the HP and Complex, too. I can already hear the giant whoooshing sound of my bank account emptying even more. :( Again, though...cool. :)

Thanks, Russ. I appreciate the feedback...I'll keep them coming. It's pretty fun to do.

Ahhh, gotcha. :) Thanks for clarifying, and for the encouragement.

LOL. Kaye, I was not trying to call you out for being "exclusive"...just lamenting that I'm not a pilot yet (i.e., I'm just jealous...or rather, impatient). :) Have a great day!

Thanks for the kind words, Kent, and for listening and giving feedback. I am curious, though, if you could elaborate on what you mean by "doing your training the right way."? I would love to know what an experienced guy like you thinks I'm doing right...I honestly don't know what you mean...

Pass along congrats! That's great. I'm not "one of you yet"...but I'll be there someday. ;)

Hi, everyone. I just released a new episode. It's been a couple of weeks, but that's partially because my wife and I went on vacation to Seattle for a week, and of course my training got delayed. I posted some pics from Seattle, including a brand new 777 taking off for a test flight. I also...

...and the Softcomms are made at my home airport...a literal stone's throw from the FBO where I'm training. I don't own one yet (I got too good a deal on my LS Thirty-3G), but talk about factory support, eh? I won't hesitate to buy one for passengers, etc. I've tried them on, and they feel...

Wow...congrats. It's been a long time coming. I cringed every time I read an update on this thread...finally a sigh of relief. :)

Gary...you have a PM. If you have time to help me figure out why its not working for you for the video, I would appreciate it. I sent you some questions. Thx.

I know ebay was suggested, but there is the "try before you buy" thing, so my recommendation is to go to pilot shops and try on different brands, etc. Read reviews, and get an idea of what you might want (narrowed down to a few brands/models). If you're wanting to save $, but wtill want to know...

Gary...cool blog. I especially like all of the "visual aids" you use...sort of captures the moment in time. I scuba dive as well, and while it's common for divers to log their dives, I also journal in my log book (i.e. draw maps of the site, record what I did and saw, etc.). I find it very...

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I just posted episode 3 regarding my first week of training. Let me know what you think...and if anyone else had similar thoughts experiences during their first flights. Thanks. Bill~

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. This is a great community...I know from all the lurking. BTW, I'm now a seasoned veteran with 1.1 hours...I'll have to release another episode, I guess.

Heh, heh. C'mon, Kent. I'll always be a student of aviation...aren't we all? :D I know...Will had this problem, right? I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess. Maybe I'll recruit a new primary student to take over when I get my ticket. Maybe it'll switch to intrument training...who...

Congrats...sounds like a fun day. I can't wait to be there myself. :)

Sorry about the OT post...but I laughed out loud when I read this, Baron. Wow, SCUBA diving, but never flying. That's a lot of driving from Colorado! (I know there is other diving than in the ocean...but it still struck me funny...I just don't like diving lakes :)).

Hello, everyone. This is my first post...but I've been lurking (here and other boards) for a while. I can't get enough...but I guess if you're here reading this...you know what I mean. :) I'm beginning my primary training today, and I'm very excited. I also wanted to let you know that I've...
