This morning
Went to the airport this morning thinking I was going to clean up the mess I had made over the last 3 weeks getting my -12 put together. Washed the bugs off the leading edges from first flight late yesterday. The wind switched as I was doing that. Slowed down too. Short story - I got in 2.3 hours this morning ! ! ! !
Found something new also : When you buzz a friends house close by, below 500 feet the voice that was sweet telliing me "500 feet" during landing, now in a harsh voice says "Obstacle, pull up, Obstacle Pull up". See, still learning. Also had the warning come on saying low on fuel. Put in another 6 gals and took off again. Ceiling was 4900', ( airport 975 ), Smoother air, an really comfortable. I feel very comfortable landing it now. No bounces ( yet anyway ).
