Eleventh day training with Dan Decker of PPGTennessee.com.
Three great flights and a touch and go. An awesome evening! It was cold but worth it.
I wasn't able to use my finger toggles with gloves on. I didn't realize how much I like using them. The first two flights I went up and did patterns flighing straight down the run way without touching down. Lower each time. The repair that I did to the throttle has really helped with control.
Dan had another pilot in traing there that was ready for his first flight. After he lanuched for his second flight I launched for my third. While Dan worked with him I just flew around the field at a higher alltitude. It was a blast to just fly around and relax. I watched the other pilot while I enjoyed the view. I flew in behind him and followed him in for his landing. A great landing too.
Then I was ready for another fly by followed by a touch an go. The touch and go was not great but I managed to save it and launch back into the air. It's a great feeling coming in with the motor still running. Feels lke you have options.
So, that's flight numbers 10, 11 and 12. And better weather is coming.
Filmed these with the Sony Action Cam AS30, Flip Cam, and iPad Mini. Used iMovie to put them together.

ReplyDeleteI met you two years ago at Indy Air Hogs, and I also fly a Monster. I'm curious how what you think of the the single prop you use on your unit? Could you reach out to me and give me some particulars? I'm thinking about going to a single bladed prop system also, just not sure how much performance I'll lose.

Mark, I just want to let you know how inspiring your videos have been for me. I have watched all of them several times. They gave me the courage to go for launch after an injury accident on my first try. I also want to let you know that I am saddened to learn tonight of the passing of Dan Decker, who certainly seemed like a great instructor. What happened? dave@davethetechguy.com
