Here's the plane I have time on - it's tiny inside.Ok, this week has been a bit frustrating from the first flight perspective... the plan was to fly every night this week after work because I was going to be out of town for BSA summer camp part of the following week.
Here's what actually happened so far:
- Monday: Bob forgot about the lesson - I got some good study time in sitting there waiting for him though
- Tuesday: Waited 2 hours for Bob again - turns out that he got stuck in court (no cell phones allowed). Talked with a friendly guy that had just landed his self-built stunt biplane for a while and had a good time - he was practicing for an acrobatic flight competition in Montreal that weekend. What a bare bones plane he had... wish I had taken some pictures
- Wednesday: Got there, met Bob, and did learned to do pre-flight inspection on the plane. Discovered that the alternator belt was loose on the engine and it wasn't safe to fly. Spent some time learning about all of the instruments in the plane instead.
- Thursday: big line of thunderstorms rolled through at 5:30 and saw another big line on the horizon, so decided it wasn't a good day to go up
