lol, yep...

we landed next to the strip too... other side of the "brown line" on the grass... the ATC get the tarmac...
the aircraft is a k21 i do believe...

theres a butload of photos on http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevieguk/ if anyones interested...

just resized them off the camera and stuck them up...

nothing spectacular really... some of the aircraft though...

[Whiternoise]

Really? Eh i guess i've never really sat in the back of a 21 before I think our ASIs look slightly different...

I mostly fly 21's, probably what i'll end up soloing in, but otherwise Puchacz's are the way forward

A shot from this evening:

I really like that image ^

[mmh]

this club uses a couple 18s for solo's... although i think my boss (the reason i was shooting at the club) did do a solo flight in the 21 as that was what he was used to before the 18's...

Gotta say its really not for me...

I've been up on the back of a tug and on a winch, and though the tug was smoother, i still would rather keep my feet on the floor

nice tree btw

I mentioned it in an earlier post, but i fly out of HusBos - 2nd largest in the country, so they've got a fair selection of aircraft. ASK21's are their main dual trainers and Puchacz's are good steps up from that (good for spin training and they're a lot more responsive). I think they've also got a Duo Discus as their advanced 2 seater, as well as a Junior (1 seater Puchacz) and one or two single seater Discus'. Though i think someone in our club buggered the landing gear on a discus a few years ago and we're not allowed to fly them any more

As for the winch, it's weird how desensitised you get to it. The first time is sort of "omigodthatsfast what do i do?!" and after 30 odd flights it's just "eh, zoom, pull back, pull back, pull off, nose down". I've only done 2 aerotows, mainly because they cost so much...

Still, university is easily the best time to learn

that looks cool Rugger did you use ACR to convert? if you did, have you tried the clarity slider?

yes, and yes, but I've always thought it introduced noise. I've only ever taken it to about +10. Would you recommend a higher value?

[Bobster]

with the haze the way it is, you might find 25 is pretty good

anyway, im off to shoot a gig
