GCY had a Fly-In last Saturday, David & I flew down. After lunch, an obvious photographer type was taking pictures and asking questions, and you know how it is when your spider-sense tingles? I knew I had a live one...

"Would you like to go for a ride?" I said. Instantly, a dozen emotions flew across her face. "I DON"T KNOW!" she replied, obviously terrified.

It turned out great. The thermals all took a break for the 20 minutes we flew around the airport, and while not my best landing, it was far from my worst. Which she commented on; "That was not nearly as violent as I was expecting." she said. To which I replied "Yeah, we ought to still be able to use the airplane again." I think she missed what I was trying to say.
Anyway, it was a great day, and later, on the way home, the variometer was bouncing between 1600 up and 900 down - she probably wouldn't have liked that ride nearly as much...

Good job Richard. Did you take the 'fly' down or the mk III?

I took the MKIII, it's in the article, that was how I was able to give her a ride. David took the AirCam. (It's hiding behind my right wingtip) The Firefly is getting better but I still want to do some more work on the muffler brackets. Also, David was trying to start it last week and the starter rope broke. Whatever kind of rope I put in it was obviously not very good. He was going to go by a boat shop and see if he could find some of the good stuff.
