Yeah sure I'll share. I had my fourth flight in training yesterday. And I'm going to say it was one of the best flights ever, both for the type of training we did and just success in controlling the craft quite well and that kind of stuff. We did some power off stalls, did a couple of those with a turn. We did power on stall. And then we practiced emergency procedures which I thought was really cool. That is of course, he just pulls the power back to idle to simulate an engine out, your engine failure. So you have your steps and procedures or whatever and you set your plane to best glide. And then you start looking for a place to land and you line it up. And when he did it he demonstrated it first and then he let me do it. And when I did it I controlled the craft. I ran through the checklist, the procedures really well and then managed to line up on a little farm road out over where we were and got down to the deck. And he hit the power back on and he took control and we pulled up and he said, that was about as good as it possibly could go. I was like all right. I hope in a real emergency situation which I hope to never see, I hope I can pull it off like that as well. And then I also did my very first landing at the airport. So straight in approach, nice calm winds, no big deal. And I think for a very first landing I did very well actually if I don't mind bragging myself. So anyway, so next one is Sunday. Sunday midday we are going to go up again. So just keeping it rolling. Sunday's lessons are going to be procedure turn type things. We are going to go out and practice turning around a point they call it. So you keep your wing tip on a point so you can do a nice perfect circle. And then the other one is cornering like making rectangles and keeping it square according to the wind and what not. So that's what we are working on on Sunday. Anyway, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Thanks Bill. All right, I'm Ron and R7. Next up Chuck, you're up. K8CPA, hello.
