It war brillig and the jabberwocky voled.
Now back to earth normal communications.
The weather this morning was gorgeous. Sherman and I planned a trip to Arcadia about 40 miles east. Laid it out on the sectional chart and corrected for deviation, Located and noted the visual waypoints we'd need to get there and the few places to avoid. Planned the fuel usage. discussed alternates and weather sources enroute. Got the weather and worked out the wind correction angles. Computed the effect on groundspeed and eta, Loaded up and went to Arcadia. Strong crosswind on runway 23. Sherman kept calling for more right aileron. The contrtol stick was jammed hard into my right thigh. Unusually jammed into the thigh, I kicked in right rudder and got her straight enough to land. Told Sherman that I thouht the seat was set wrong. We shutdown on the taxi way and I got out and reset my seat aft. Funny, with no knees under my chin, there was full throw on the control. Lesson learned--- check the seat adjustment before climbing in unless it is adjustable in flight. And free and clear controls
Got in the aircraft and had plenty of stick room.
All-in-all I really like simple sticks. The y sticks in the Jabiru are cool with the outboard throttles. Frees up the entire center for the non-flying pilot to work a laptop.
We used the grass runway at X06 (Arcadia) and the remos literally jumped into the air. Watching the birds fly, farmers get ready for their day and clothing being hung on the line. All stuff you can't see at 550 knots from the stratosphere with 360 of you close friends and a full toilet.
If my bladder gets cranky, we do a Captain Ron and pull over somewhere, and I don't have to ask the government for permission to do so. All my fellow pilots just tell me which tree they think is best,

We had a pretty flight to SRQ and then a long straight in to 32 with us leading the pack, Had a much better landing by not trying to land, just fly down the runway really low and then cut ther power. It will land. And I can control it.

Did the FAA paperwork to apply for my student pilot ticket. Got to have that to solo. Maybe Saturday. Depends on when "Dave" the DPE Designated Pilot Examiner
