Day Two

Got in a few more flights today for practice, not flying for the past 5 months is starting to show up a bit, but a few more flights should get most of that polished off.



Ivan came down from Ocala (where he is staying at the field in his motorhome) to get in some flights with us. He is flying his trusty Genesis from last season with a 170 CDI motor that is running really well for him.






Jason actually brought his plane out today and as usual is looking a little better than the rest of us (his flying that is, he needs a haircut lol ). We ran through both the P and F patterns and spent the afternoon playing around with the Eagletree datalogger getting a look at some inflight data of various setups.




I decided to go up for another flight, and I guess Jason was getting bored with flying and decided to try his skill at nature photography....so for his first subject a bee seemed like a good choice! I think the camera was less than 1" away when he took this shot.





Tomorrow we hope to get out a little earlier and put in a few more flights, so far I am up to 9 flights and hope to get in at least 30 more before I leave :)

So this is why you need to take competent, journalistically mind pattern flyers along to ensure timely updates of the blog... sheesh!
