 |
|
This evening, N73EX took wing for the first time. I left my short field and went to a nearby 1700 foot grass strip and did 6 landings. Did not fly back to my strip as I did not feel comfortable with my "spot" landing skills as of yet. Maybe tomorrow morning, providing calm winds, will get in some more time and learn to hit the spot a little better.
First take off was a real thrill. Like a friend of my said about his first takeoff, "it took off like an angel headed for home, and never looked back." Thanks Dan, you are right!
It is well worth the three year building process to make the first flight. All I can say is almost unbelievable
