    Nervous about taking my first passengers tomorrow!

    Good report. You have some brave friends. I flew a C172 at limit once. It was CFI, myself, wife, daughter, and bags. It handled like a dream. Quite frankly I would be hard pressed to describe how it felt any different than with only CFI and I. Then again in Michigan we were blessed with...

    One of the funniest trade words I ever heard was for a strain relief. It is the kind that is made of woven wire and looks like a Chinese finger grip. Apparently it is called a "horse cock". :dunno:

    Beware your government - they may take your airplane
