    Default 3 pts / wheel landings and slips

    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?

    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

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