I recommend you try to find someone who can train you in some unusual attitude maneuvers even before you finish your PPL. There are CFIs who specialize in it and usually use a super decathlon for the trainig. I had thought I might do that in my 8KCAB but never really followed through. I'm so...

Yeah, Dan, boy you were lucky! I always carry a big flashlight and look very carefully before stepping out of my RV, crossing the ramp and in the hangar everywhere. I bet you jumped straight up and sideways all at once like a kangaroo rat. I've done that too but the snake was sound asleep...

Me too, ha ha.... And, I have a king snake as a pet in a 50gallon aquarium (sans water of course) His name is "headset" because of his markings.....

The new problem out here is they've stopped rattling as a warning. My rancher kid student told me they think it's because of the feral hogs. His ranch isn't very big he said, just 25,000 acres or so.

Congrats!!

Thanks, I get it now

In addition to those two books mike goulian and Giza Zsurovys book basic aerobatics is nice because it has pictures for what you see.

No, I wouldn't have a student do that... Just hold her level till its at 60 while your finding a place... Doesn't take long. He's in a 152 there's not much speed to trade up :-)

Thanks :-)

The other thing you can do is power off 180s at the airport. That will help you with perceiving the glide and set up for the las part of getting it down where you want and judging your turn onto "final" depending on the winds. Don't suppose you're flyin in 20-24 kt winds though...

I've been practicing at the sportsman level... Hoping it makes it easier than the super D
