If you go to the AOPA main page there is a story on the arrest and their actions with attorneys to protect pilots.

She hasn't thought of tying something on her feet...YET!! She has 3 months left until glider season opens though. It makes me wonder if they would allow her to do that.?? HMMM

I loved seeing your post of your daughter flying. My daughter just turned 11 and is in love with flying. She goes to the flight club every weekend and begs to start lessons. She has the same issue of not being able to reach the rudder pedals. She has won over all the pilots sympathy and...

I wouldn't but apparently others do. Read the posts...they challenge both.

To All the posts previous, I'm rarely on this web board. To see the posts and threads of people who challenge and criticize experience is sad. Dr. B was my doctor in private medicine and I only found about his aviation knowledge later as I tried to get my son in aviation. And now myself...

Thank you for all of the help. I'm trying to visualize each response and what I'm currently doing different. I havent set the trim and will try that or ask my CFI if he thinks that would help. I like the concept of keeping the whole plane in mind and not just the nose. My focus has been...

I'v just finished my 9th flight. I feel pretty good about everything except the tow. Everyone says that I will get it. I would like that to be flight 10 and not flight 50. If I'm only controlling the rudder it is fine. When I get the stick and rudders it turns into a big mess. :mad2: What...
