"Historic" flight for "TTT"!!!! Yesterday afternoon ...after Chris dusted off the rust & cobwebs (being a month since last flight) with a 1/2 hour of flying in the pattern & an assortment of landings & approaches ...... Jim shoehorned into the rear seat & we went off to fly around the farm & neighborhood ..... enjoyed circling the relly's & neighbors who came out & waved. Jim has a 1/2 gyro- grin . Now ..... be a FULL one when he gets the next round of lessons done & he gets solo endorsement! Tried out the home strip with touch'n goes! ...all that work raking,rock-picking mulching,seeding & mowing-mowing-mowing all summer ... paid off at last!!!! Today Chris went out solo to practice windy-weather flying ... as needs LOTS of practice before the EAA fly-in & doing intro-rides early Oct. The stability of the machine is amazing ..... nice wind from 170 ... 17-25kts ... I really thought I'd just pop up feel insecure ...HA ...GOODUN!!! ... put it down & call it quits ...as has been the case too often with my OZ'rora! well the TO was amazing .... quick wind assist spin-up ...with one-up ...just levitated away .... did a landing ...so sweet & easy with the strong headwind ...... I just headed over to the farm to play around & had a BLAST ... I feel i learned a HEAP just reviewing all those lessons from different CFI's ... figuring out different approaches to our landing strip ..several touch-go & when Jim came out in the MULE I did a full stop & then the first full TO after a bit of a break! I remember Stan telling me how much fun windy days were in a gyro ... yep I'm hooked on playing in the wind! Just TOO MUCH FUN!

Cool!! There are no trees or hills to get in the way! You could land anywhere!

My thoughts exactly Scott.... great place to begin solo flying It is harder learning with gaps in treelines making unstable or unfavourable winds.... and few places to land if you unexpectedly have to land.... that property is like a beginners dream

Beginners, shooooo! I would love it now! All you would have to look out for is wires if you are flying low. (and fences if you fly real low) . Yes great place to learn a new machine for sure. Nice grass!!

about 350 ft to N end of strip is a powerline & the end of a tree row on the N side of the road! To's to the south are the best (1/4 mile open field before a fenceline!) ... For when the wind is out of the N .... I've been trying to get a handle on the abort point ....if lift off is not achieved ...& the powerline cannot be safely cleared! I've been practising the tight turn to come around before the obstacles & line-up over the end of the strip, or on straight-in making a vertical descent over the road/lines/trees .... and still leaving enough strip for touch & go & has challenged me .... just practice needed! Yeah it's GREAT having 95 ac of flat open field to work with!
