I've had a few more sessions since my last post.
Sunday 17th June
Longest flight yet, almost two hours up around the circuit and practising slow flight, as the name suggests flying slowly with flap at around 55-60 knots. Annoyingly the stall warner in the aircraft today was set a bit high so it really meant an hour of screeching in my ear. Lots of circuits followed with another 6 take off and landings in total, a couple of which were very smooth IMHO.
Sunday 24th June
A very brief early trip up to Stapleford in pretty poor weather. Arrived around 8.30 and had to wait for a couple of aircraft to come in so that they could advise on the cloud level. 1400ft so just high enough to get in a couple of circuits but no where near enough to be able to do the stalling practice I have to do before going solo. Blustery conditions and a bit of a crosswind put paid to our lesson after just half an hour although we managed one flapless landing.
