Haven't posted much lately because I kinda forgot for a while that I had this, lol.
There isn't much to really talk about, though, so I'll keep it fairly short.
My landings have gotten better, like tenfold... maybe even more than that. I can do 90% of my landings unassisted now. Still need to get the hang of turns around a point, s-turns, and steep turns, but my stalls are ok. I have a hard time recognizing when the plane has actually stalled because it doesn't always do an abrupt nose-over like it does sometimes. I'm good on the recovery, just not so much the recognition...
In ground, we've gotten into the hard stuff: weight and balance. So.. many.. NUMBERS!!
I'll get it sooner or later.
Anyway, that's all for now.

Stalls
Don't feel like writing much today, I've got a bad headache, but..
Went over to Fernandina, didn't land there but we did some maneuvers around the area. Some slow flight, which is easy, steep turns, which I still don't have down yet, power off stalls, which aren't as scary as they seem, and Sean demonstrated a power on stall. I did NOT like it at all, and he doesn't like doing them either, which in turn, makes me nervous. But it has to be done.
Did some touch and goes. It's been like a month since I've landed so I have to get back into the routine of doing things again. I'm not quite fine-tuned yet, but I'll get it down, I suppose.
that's all for today.
