<DIV>For some in D4 this will be an update...<vbg></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I finally made it out to the flying field today, not having flown
since the D4 Championship.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Got one flight in on the Focus and trying some of the Intermediate
stuff out for next year. This trip to the field was for the girl-friend
and kids. We have six between us and have moved to the serious dating
stage...lol.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Aside from the kids flying, I've been a bit on the skeptical side of
Lisa's desire to fly R/C Planes. She has stated that her goal is to
progress to the same class as me, then out fly me in every
contest...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've been looking for subtle signs of the R/C & Pattern
Bug...Lisa was very supportive with me going to contest and went with me
for the last two. She was willing to learn and help where she could.
Today, we tried to manage stick time for the kids and stick time for Lisa.
The last flight of the day she was really focused and started to see some
of the things clicking in her mind about how to control the plane. During
the last flight she wanted to fly a bit longer when I mentioned something
about landing. So, what the heck. We are at good altitude, weather is
great...Dead-stick from anywhere would be fine. Sure enough the plane
stopped making nose on the downwind side of the runway. She asked, "what
happened?"...I calmly replied, "It's out of fuel now, so we have to land".
With an uneventful landing, her mind was put at ease from the guilt of
running the plan out of gas...Hmmm...good sign.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Once we got home and dinner out of the way. Lisa wanted to test out
the GP-G2 Flight Simulator. This is where things really started to click
and she was soon taking off with out too much difficulty. About this time
the kids wanted to try. Lisa said, "No...Mom's Flyin'...Need to wait till
I'm done!!!"...Ha...She appears to be hooked. After learning
to control the aircraft a bit better, she wanted to try and land. So
with objects off at the full scale airport we started the landing
practice. Lisa was determined to get this down. We set the field up so she
could land in any direction, just focused on wings level and the pitch
attitude. After a few attempts she finally got it...I made it a bit more
challenging from the start by simulating dead-stick on every landing
attempt. During this time, she would not let the kids fly until she got
5 landings down. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With all that said, she even likes helping me build plane.</DIV>
