I took it all the way to Chicago O'Hare today, then got stuck. Bumped
for a free ticket, $150 comp ticket, a free nite at the Radison and meal
tickets....and the Website too.
Life don't get much better than this...oh yeah did I mention that I also
have a pocket full of LSF 3 Contest points :-).
Its a good thing I got side tracked, I need the nite to recover from
the shock of not adjusting my approach energy on the landings. Guess I
wasn't used to the lack of wind...or I'm still lousy at landings :-)
My first caller told me during the first two approaches that I was using
the flaps too late, but what did he know, he's just a jet pilot...so I fired
him. In the last rounds the big dogs were yelling from the sidelines "Hey
stupid, get your flaps on now!"...but I no I stood there like a deer in the head
lights watching the nose approach at warp speed, straight to the money spot, for
the big "WHACK/BOUNCE" thing...
It was soooo incredible to be there! I was told that I have a lot to
learn still, and wow is that exciting cuz I thought I knew everything already!
:-)
Skeg is coming off till I get my approach grove back....maybe staying off,
since I intend to learn F3J to fly with my friends from here and England next
year in Istanbul...and they aren't allowed in 'gentlemen's' soaring. :-)
