Bro do you even lift
flew from 8A6 (Wilgrove) to 5NC3 (Gilliam McConnell) yesterday. there is a BBQ place called the Pik-n-Pig on the field and they also have a driving range, so what a great way to spend a beautiful Saturday.....taking a nice flight, stuffing my face with BBQ, hitting some golf balls...landing on a 2500' runway with a rather large audience and nailing it!
some notes from my flight:
had trouble holding altitude after leveling off. finally figured out I left 1 notch of flaps in from my short field departure
there were quite a few less-than-stellar landings at 5NC3, which is 2500' long. I felt good about nailing it, and also realized the benefit of training out of a 'short field'. I don't think they're short at all!
I'm starting to put a nice draw on the golf ball. you gotta shift your weight!!!
happy flying y'all!
