Talking First Aerobatics Lesson!

Just had to tell someone!!

WHAT A BLAST!!!

30 mins in a CAP-10, great fun. I did the take off (first time in a taildragger - MORE rudder!!) and had the aircraft to climb up to altitude over the airfield. The instructor then demonstrated most of the standard figures then I had a go at a couple of loops & rolls. All too quickly it was over and decended down into the circuit. I needed a little help with the landing (just the slightest cross-wind and I was all over the place on touchdown!!), but what a it put on my face.

It ranks up there with the first solo in my book!!

Plus, A quick thanks to everyone who posted on a thread about aero's a month or so ago, I finally did it!!!

Cheers, SD.

Can't wait for the next lesson!!
