3 pts / wheel landings and slips

[SkyPirate]

Today after it stopped raining and it was too late to go to either fly in that I was hoping to go to, i did some field work and practiced 3 point and wheel landings, no flap and flap, and a few slips, after all that Maddie ( my 8 yr old )wanted to go for a short flight so we did , and she took the stick for the first time in the new plane yup Dad is proud today , she did awesome at holding altitude and banking left and right and hold altitude( i operated rudder)
We made a video , i will try to post it here , I will have to upload it elsewhere and put a link here,..too large

Too bad about the weather Chase. Gotta love the daughter flight though.
She's going to be another Patty Wagstaff. I can sense it.
Now how much is a new Pitts?

[SkyPirate]

Lol I'd have to start sell ocean front property in my back yard right now to buy another airplane she already has a good start on her first, she has named it hawks legend, and i figure 6 years before it needs to be completed

Lol will have to fix that pic later lol too tired

[SkyPirate]

ok here she is flying right side up it's a modified airframe a friend gave me..

So Chase, what you're saying is she didn't slip to a landing, she flipped to a landing.

[SkyPirate]

lol yup..and lost a wing or 2 and horizontal stab in the process

Is that a Ridge Runner / Sky Raider?

[SkyPirate]

no it's a modified legal eagle 1,..from what I have learned there are 2 single seat and 1 2 place versions..this is the shorter fuselage version with instead of inverted "V" wing attach point over head it's 26" wide and set up for folding wing

Chase,
Enjoy EVERY minute with your daughter!!!

Before you know it, she will be 28 years old, a college graduate, married to her college sweetheart, and expecting their first child in three weeks! You will still have a fuselage to cover and paint; and the left wing still to paint, etc.... She will NOT be into going flying, much less into helping you spray the first coat of Poly Tone "white" on that left wing... but you will still be just as proud of her as you are today!!!

Way to go Dad!
