I got to the runway turnoff, I went back to the start of 36, called my
intentions and slowly accelerated. Before I went much beyond 100 feet
I was in the air and climbing. I flew once around the pattern (forgot
to call downwind and final in my excitement) and set up for landing.
The landing was easy and I taxied back to my tie down.
I decided not to take another flight today because the wind was
picking up and the thermals were making things bumpy for first
flights. Also I need to add about 1/2 degree to the pitch since my
rpm's were a little high.
All in all a very successful morning. Now that the first flight is
over I can start my test flight regimen.
Keep building. Flying your own plane is a fantastic feeling!

On Wednesday I journeyed over to Quality Sport Planes in Cloverdale for
a demo ride in their new 701. My pilot was Doug and he was terrific. I
got to make several takeoff and landings. Even though I was in the
right seat, with Doug's instruction it was great! All of the people at
Quality were very friendly and helpful. I got way more time in the
plane than I expected based on the small donation they requested for fuel.
This morning I took my new found knowledge and went to the airport, made
a very complete preflight and did some taxi practice. Doug mentioned
that I should taxi down the runway holding the nose wheel of the ground
as this is the attitude that the plane will be in for landing. I took
his suggestion and found it was quite easy to control while maintaining
about 3000 rpm. Once I got to the runway turnoff, I went back to the
start of 36, called my intentions and slowly accelerated. Before I went
much beyond 100 feet I was in the air and climbing. I flew once around
the pattern (forgot to call downwind and final in my excitement) and set
up for landing. The landing was easy and I taxied back to my tie down.
I decided not to take another flight today because the wind was picking
up and the thermals were making things bumpy for first flights. Also I
need to add about 1/2 degree to the pitch since my rpm's were a little high.
All in all a very successful morning. Now that the first flight is over
I can start my test flight regimen.
Keep building. Flying your own plane is a fantastic feeling!
