My Flying

Flying weekend day 2. Again I was reminded how cramped and horrible the cockpit is. Almost full elevator authority during the flare results in my right hand doing some weird deformed and contorted movement into my chest. And during the circuit and can't do full right rudder and open the airbrake at the same time without first getting my left knee out the way. Could potentially be painful if the instructor suddenly decides to open the brakes.

So it was just a circuit after a very nice 1300ft launch into the very fresh Westerly. The launches are interesting in that you actually need to force the nose down. During my one launch of yesterday I forgot and before you could say fruit loops, we were climbing very steep. Cost = 47ZAR.
