This is Haley. Her first ride was at age 4 or 5 weeks. My friend was constantly checking on her and she slept most of the way home. The noise didn't seem to bother her at all but I'd still like to get her something to lessen the decibels. She just hates when I leave the house.

lol. No shirt cutting. I have my logbook entry. I think she needed to get home and I’m not sure there were scissors nearby. I’ll let you know if that changes.

A friend of mine is in training as well and she solo'd right before me. She had on her fitbit and posted on FB her heart rate during the flight. It was quite funny.

Just completed my first solo yesterday morn. Beautiful day so the wind was negligible. It felt pretty odd not bumping elbows with the instructor but I actually felt less nervous being alone. The oddest sense or feeling that I had was about 5 seconds after my wheels left the ground. It was a...

Thanks for the feedback. She is having me manage the lineup by using both the rudder and ailerons. And yes it is a challenge. My hand and foot coordination is not there yet. It's not fully there yet for my takeoff roll. lol But I'm 4 hours into my training and she is very happy with the...

Winds were from 280° for a 200°runway.

My instructor scheduled today for landing practice. We ended up having cross winds of 12 to 14 knots roughly and gusts added another 3 to 5 on top of that. So that was a little more challenging than I expected but I still walked away with a smile on my face. lol

Thank you all. I'm good. Had my first flight yesterday. The 182 is amazing to fly.

So the deal was I had a chance to give up the 58 (it is a A) that I had just bought last week for the 61. Straight trade. I've sat and flown in both. The 61 has the clean pretty look, runs well and it does have the manual flaps. The 58 has the STOL kit, overhauled instruments, a low hour...

Same payload for the A or D model. Yes on the paint and it looks nice but paint wears too and it has weight. A good coat may add 50lbs to the overall weight.

The 61 has a Narco NAV-122. That plane is flown via IPAD but the NAV system works. The 58 would get a Garmin G5 or the next model up.

No dumping occurring. He is selling all of his aircraft due to age and retirement.

Yes on the straight tail and checked.

Nothing commercial. Cross country flying at first. Camping eventually.
