as soon as we took off (with a sharp incline i might add, but thankfully i didn’t stall the plane) the rush passed and i started to freak the hell out. it was windy and we were bumping around, and i couldn’t see over the dash and felt really small in a small, SMALL plane. this little japanese woman sat next to me guiding me. she had been doing this so long she didn’t feel anything. there’s so much to do to even get the thing in the air, i can’t steer correctly with just my feet while on the ground, up in the air my headset was not adjusted correctly due to a loose screw so she could almost never hear me…
she instructed to stay out of the airspace for burbank airport traffic and i just kept thinking, “oh x%x#t this ain’t gonna work at all…” i couldn’t really enjoy myself. maybe just a bad experience to start but not going back up at the controls any time soon. landing was kind of rough.
she said i handled it well. to think, she wanted us to try and perform stunts! was she on something???
