I know it's not of much interest to others but I had a blast !
Today was my first flight in a single place (G102). Actually first two flights. First flight was 3000' foot tow followed by slow flight, stalls with and without spoilers, turning stall, slips, etc. Second flight was about 1.5 hours never getting higher than 3500 AGL. I had a little trouble with wing dropping on both takeoffs. On the second take off I stupidly tried to close the canopy window vent just after lift off. That was dumb, but I figured out pretty quickly to wait and close it later. The landings were no problem. I think the airbrakes are more effective than the 103. The controls definitely required a lighter touch than the 103. I found the 102 much easier to thermal with and easier to keep coordinated. Today was not exactly a booming day but it's the first time I've stayed up. I only came down because because my butt was getting sore and the airplane had to be packed up and sent to wave camp. First solo was a thrill, but this was better. Doug |
