Pre-takeoff checklist
Well afer 3 months of due to having a bran spanking new hip installed I flew Saturday afternoon. The airport was a behive of activity. 3 helicopters practicing, one doing right had traffic and 1 Med helicoptor not talking on the radio, 3 or 4 planes in the pattern- just a normal GA airport day.
Still had some trouble climbing in the Cutlass since my leg won't end some ways it used to as easily - but thats getting better. I only had about an hour of comfort also before that lg had serious "stretch me out" discomfort.
Had a safety pilot friend along and tried some aproaches but the HSI was precessing pretty bad and would even spin in turns so I gave that up and just did straight and level under the hood. Landings were good, floated some on the first but the second and third were very nice.
I had seriously considered hanging up the headset until I got out of the plane. Not having spent the 300 a month or so I normally spend has been good for the budget.
But now? No way.... :cheerio:
