Well, I had my very first flight training session today in a J3 Cub. I had flown commercial a few times in my life and other than that I had a couple friends take me in a 39 Waco and another in a cabin class Waco. Guys I gotta say this ole cub on a windy day was some real cowboy shit. I'm not sure how much I was controlling the airplane but It was a banger of take offs and landings. Maybe to try and weed out the sissys or maybe they are just a hand full always. Wind was 10 per the sock not being fully extended. Felt more like 30 mph crosswind. I am scheduled one per week for this month but I can already tell I want more. Just don't have the bucks right this second. I got a few side hustles and junk to sell to buy me more time but dang, my girl asked if I liked it and it honestly wasn't really very pleasant, more of a workout. She asked if I was scared, I didn't have a half a second to even understand if I was scared or not. It took everything I had trying to keep up. haha. I have a lot of work to do. Time to get serious. I can't wait to go up again. I've been listening to every ground school video I can find and have begun taking notes and building lists of ideas, questions and procedures. Not sure if this is how it goes but it's just what I'm doing. Should I find some sportys vhs tapes and download foreflight? Now I want to build an airplane even more knowing what it can really do. Before it was just based on a dream or idea but now I know I can fly. I must fly. I will fly in a plane I build. This is serious business. In the mean times it's knocking back hours in the log book
