Flying a little higher than 6 inches

[Painless]

~S~ Chaps,

Thought I would share this with ya'll at the risk of boring you to death....

Went for a little flight in a C42 light aircraft with a M8 yesterday and he let me fly it most of the way

We flew from Poppham airfield down to my home town of Waterlooville and over my house ! LOL

Had to descend to 1700ft from the perscribed 2000ft because of low cloud.

It was pretty bumpy compared to a 747 !

VERY cool, mate!

Did you get coordinated turns down pat?

[Painless]

~S~ Pete,

Could only bank to a max of 60 deg because the fuel would pour out !!! LMAO

It was my first go at real flying and I had trouble just holding alt and heading to be honest LOL

Nice Mick. You going to have another go?

Sell the Beemer and get one m8.

[Streak]

Nice.

Do you get to do it again sometime?

[GreyKnight]

Nice indeed Painless! Have often did you check your 6?

[Painless]

~S~ Chaps,

Will be going up again in just over a week, this time for a longer flight

I got told off for not checking my 6, 7, 8, etc LOL

One of these fine days I would love to have shares in a plane...............wheres that bloody lottery win ! LOL

Well done Painless.

[Psycho]

cheers mate!

brilliant pics,

Flying a small aircraft IS a royal pisser.....

[Enforcer57]

Yup. Actual flying in real aircraft (and I don't mean airliners) is downright addictive. Gives a whole new perspective to this sim thing. Wait till you get a ride in a warbird like a B-25 or C-47. Lots more noise.

Good deal Painless,

I'll never forget my first time at the controls.

I was lucky enough to make it a warbird too.

Here is my post on it over at UBI

I really want to get my pilots license, but I don't see much chance in it for atleast another 4 years.

Kids in college, I'm tapped.
