10th July - rusty!

I've had a busy few weeks since I last flew the Nipper, not least of which was taking part in FlyUK 2010 in my Shadow which was great fun.
This Saturday, I flew the Shadow to Marham, strapped Adam in so he could try it out and then took KI up to blow away the aerobatic cobwebs! I didn't do anything particularly taxing or impressive and unfortunately wasn't able to fly over the runway which was frustrating. It's very difficult to assess yourself without a line feature below. However, I did the usual loops, rolls, chandelles and a spin, all of which went well. As before, the thing I need is continuity, but I suspect that I will only manage a few flights between now and mid-August due to family commitments.
For the record, Adam really enjoyed flying the Shadow; I think he wants one!
