Rugz has taken the long awaited plunge and had his first, and may I add most definately not his last, flying lesson on Saturday.
The weather was overcast and it was raining a tad, so the instructor gave me the option of cancelling. I of course said I'd be more than happy going up in the bad weather and what a time we had
I'm convinced I learnt more about controlling the aircraft with todays weather than if I had gone up on a clear, sunny and windless day.
Anyway, everything went to plan. I got to fly the plane for a large part of the lesson, and in those bad conditions found it not too difficult control at all. It was rather fun dodging the cloud and having to continually adjust the heading to find the better parts of the weather.
Thanks to all at Shobdon (Herefordshire Aeroclub) for a great introduction to flying...I'll be back!!
