My plan was to take off and climb to about 1500ft and remain there for abot 15 minutes. Unfortunately this did not work out as my temp problem resurfaced as I climbed through 100ft forcing me to return to the field. Given the fact that this was my first flight and it was very brief I think I did quite well. I advanced the throttle to max and ...

Once there we bought a used pop top Nissan "caravan" and spent five months touring the East coast of Oz. Late one afternoon as we were heading south toward Brisbane we spotted a small sign on a barbed wire fence that read "Microflights". The next morining we investigated and found a grass strip with the usual assortment of GA aircraft ...

As I set the tail back on the ground I suddenly felt as if I had no rudder authority anymore, the plane slowly started to turn left as the tail began to weathervane, I pushed full right rudderin an atempt to stop the turn but to no avail. all I could do was ...

It is too bad that the field is only around 1000ft as this allows me to make a run lift off then throttle back and land in order to come to a stop before the end of the field. After that another local pilot helped ...

I was going to get instruction in a T-Bird but my instructor was having problems with the prop pitch which resulted in a couple of short hops around the pattern. He then got out his S-12 and we flew in that for the rest of the afternoon. On climb out during my first flight in the S12 my instructor began testub my abillities by covering up the altimiter and the ASI while asking me to perform climbing turns. Not suprisingly ...

I have finally moved my Legal Eagle to the hanger and I have begun taxi tests. This plane is much easier to handle on the ground than the luscombe I have been taking lessons in. The Eagle is a go where you point it no nonsense airplane on the ground. I hope to have video uploaded by tomorrow evening.
