Holy cow! That's my last motorcycle! My intent was for this hobby to replace my motorcycle addiction, since I can't ride anymore. I'm feeling what you do, only as a noob, it's every plane I build.
You've just shown me that the "Oh, crap, no!" Seat-of-the-pants, half-second to react time, to pull out of disaster is ongoing. Not only that, but when I get too comfortable, I can take on a plane with a more challenging flight characteristic. I'm already doing that, I was just personally afraid that in a year or two I'd be "Been there, done that." Now I know I'll be at this for YEARS! Thank you.
I just need to get proficient enough to be able to fly lots of designs, and when I find the one that pushes me like that one pushes you? I rode everywhere all the time. My every day off was taken up by either servicing or riding that last bike of mine. Perfection was my goal. The perfect line down a twisty road, just as fast as I could make it happen.
You have no idea what you've just done for me with your innocent sentences. My next flight in the Mini Scout Challenge is going to be very interesting indeed! The connection is made. My skills need a lot of work, but I'm not just flying that plane. I'm riding it. Thank you.
