Isn't that neat. I've never tried it, but the front pit is reputed to be one of the few that's tougher to get into than a Cub's... Good for you! You're flying!

Yes, interesting how the guy is completely aware of the danger and does not stop him, I guess the second those lions feel fear in his eyes he is that day's meal. But wouldn't you all pilots hear the same? you also take a known risk, and you would do it again if you die while doing what you love best. Speaking of, I took the advice of several of you guys (I can say that this time) and I'm learning how to fly by the "seats of the pants." I'm going for my LSA ticket (don't want to hassle with 3rd medical yet) on a Pietenpol. Open cockpit! owaooo, what a difference, I literally feel like a cork toss up in the air! although very green (6.5 hrs) I'm doing it better every time, burning 5 gls/hr on 87 oct... In that time I've learned how to hand prop, and so far have not paid any attention to the instruments except when I check oil pressure and temperature on my run up. I'm also working on a Schweisser 2-33 (stripping the wings, laying, painting the fabric on the fuselage) which hopefully will be ready by the fall... It seems I'll be around the right tools to learn how to fly and get a step closer to a 560! thanks for you all, enjoy the list very much and hope to see lots of you in Reno!

It's funny, a minute or so in I thought this is going to be one of these people we hear about in a couple years who gets eaten, like the grizzly guy. But then further in I thought, well maybe so what. What he's got is really special and maybe worth it. And then a minute or so later he says the same thing.
