Justin DBC Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Well, after a 4 month hiatus due to financial reasons, I'm grabbing a CFI at 5pm today and seeing if I remember how to fly. I'm sure it will be entertaining/terrifying for the CFI.... J- Quote
TomPPL Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Good luck! Don't forget to post back and let us all know how you got on. Quote
1badz32 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Good luck man, just remeber to stay "in the middle of the air"... you'll be just fine. Quote
Justin DBC Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Well that was motivating. Aside from being a little slower than normal on the start-up and skipping a clearing turn before takeoff, everything went great... Probably better than my last flight (back in early March!!!). There was about a 10 knot crosswind when I first picked it up and again when I did a slope landing, but I was able to keep everything steady. Anyone wanna give me some money so I can finnish my commercial before 2050? J- Quote
Chopperjess Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 As soon as you find someone giving away money, you better tell me or i'm going to come looking for you! I got to start flying a couple months ago after having not for about 5 months. First flight back was with an instructor i've never flown with before. He put me through the hoops. Was fun... Feels good to get back into the swing of things doesn't it? Sooo, about that free money... Quote
Justin DBC Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Sooo, about that free money... Being in love with flying helicopters when you're broke is a bit like having a fetish for super models when you're ugly. J- Quote
Darkhorse Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 If you had money you wouldnt have to worry about flying or being ugly...see how easy that was? Quote
Hedge36 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Being in love with flying helicopters when you're broke is a bit like having a fetish for super models when you're ugly. <_> J- Ain't that the truth! These fourteen hour days I'm putting in will put me back in the saddle at the end of the July. With any luck I won't lose my mind between now and then. Quote
Pogue Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Anyone wanna give me some money so I can finnish my commercial before 2050? You used up your 1607 VA benefit yet? Doesn't pay for all of it, but it really helps. Quote

adam32 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Heck, I have two helicopters and still can't afford to fly them!! Quote

Justin DBC Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 You used up your 1607 VA benefit yet? Doesn't pay for all of it, but it really helps. Naw. I need to save up the money so I can use it. Gotta love how the VA screws you on that! Heck, I have two helicopters and still can't afford to fly them!! I'll take one off your hands. Hell, I won't even charge you anything! J- Quote
