Pre-takeoff checklist
Hi, my name is David and I am a pilot.
Just thought I'd do one of those introductory posts so ya'll (life long Texan) can have an idea of who I am. I don't post too often, actually rarely get the computer at home due to a wife and two boys constantly hogging the technology.
I fly an Archer, and grew up with an uncle who has a '49 bonanza flying with him a Lot. I probably had over 40 hours stick time when I went to take my first lesson. I have been in love with airplanes since I can remember, and it's in my blood. My dad, uncle, and other uncle are all aerospace engineers, as am I. We all fly RC planes and my parents have pictures of me picking up pieces of my dad's crashed rc planes while I was still in diapers. They were flying these things back when transmitters were the size of ice chest coolers and you had one control: right elevator up or down or neutral (would induce some roll control via one sided elevator).
Anyways, that's a bit about me, thanks for giving me a place to hang out and something to do when I should be working. I hope to meet some of yall, and I need excuses to fly around this fall. I have never ventured much beyond central Texas in the plane and need to do some of that before I get too much older.
