Third time's the charm!
Sunday morning, Rob and I got out to the airport and preflighted the Warrior again. THIS time, it looked good, it started, and it flew! I did six circuits around the pattern, knocking the rust off my landing skills. I'm very pleased with how well it went. I had been terrified beforehand -- not of crashing and killing myself, but of looking like a fool. But I didn't. Phew!
I wasn't perfect, and I had to use up way too much of my brain concentrating very hard to get things right, but the landings were good and safe and gentle and my radio work was good enough that even I can't find fault with it. Way cool!
Now for some solo work. :-) With practice, the concentration levels required for good landings will relax to the point that I can fly AND have a conversation.
