Acropilot: Moving and changes
http://acropilot.blogspot.com/2015/04/moving-and-changes.html
Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Haven't had a chance to do much flying since I have been moving from San Francisco back to Santa Cruz. But that process will soon be over and I'll be able to fly more. So, a call to the Univair. And they're sending me the installation drawings. And a query on the International Stinson Club. Travel template...

Acropilot: B pattern and High Speed Cruise
http://acropilot.blogspot.com/2014/06/b-pattern-and-high-speed-cruise.html
Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Saturday, June 7, 2014. B pattern and High Speed Cruise. The last lesson, May 31, was about repeating the A Pattern and then going into the B Pattern. That correlates to 2400 RPM and 18 inches of manifold pressure for 120 knots, and pretty close to the same but with gear down and 10 degrees of flaps for slow cruise at 90 knots.

Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Playing with the Trinidad. 189 mph ground speed between Point Reyes and Santa Cruz point. Not bad. The winds were almost 180 degrees off of the direction on the ground, based on landing at Petaluma on runway 11. Petaluma to Watsonville in 3:30. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Too bad the rolling shutter causes the prop to look like this, but that's what you get with an iPhone. Clocked 176 mph ground speed at 2300RPM /22 inches manifold pressure at 5500 feet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). EAA - The Experimental Aircraft Association. I also have a blog on photography.

Acropilot: Holds on an intersection
http://acropilot.blogspot.com/2014/07/holds-on-intersection.html
Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Saturday, July 5, 2014. Holds on an intersection. Holds on an intersection was today's lesson, which was a bit of a problem. I had a hard time figuring out which direction I would be heading for the entrance into the hold. Part of it might be terminology, but the other part is that I have never done holds on an intersection. I hav...

Acropilot: August 2014
http://acropilot.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Saturday, August 9, 2014. When I have been flying, I like to track where I have been, but that has always required to run something other than foreflight on my iPhone at the same time. Usually I would have motionx running while using the stratus on foreflight. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). EAA - The Experimental Aircraft Association.

Acropilot: June 2014

Thoughts and experiences flying. I've always had a fascination for flight, but only started flying in 1995 or so. My goal is to pilot a P-51 Mustang, or have fun getting there. Saturday, June 14, 2014. The last lesson Holds on a VOR. It's sort of hard to follow, but if you work at it you can. My instructor called it quits at that point in time, and we headed off to Scaggs for a left hand hold over there. Saturday, June 7, 2014. B pattern and High Speed Cruise. Let's just say that's a bit too high speed&#...
