This has been a very productive week, not so much with the Jetwing rebuild, but with other things. I flew with Don twice and like many things in life, seemed to “catch on” to the landing technique. I flew on Thursday and also early today, a total of about 3 hours and 20 landings in just these two sessions. Don said the improvement in my flying was noticeable and he would be willing to sign me off for solo next session. That means it will be less than 10 hours total WSC time or maybe just over. He thought my airplane flight experience helps me in visualizing in three dimensions, a critical element for the landings.
On the way back from the flying, I stopped off at Crystal to work on the Jetwing. I got the nose wheel installed, along with the rear wheels and swing axle cables and front downtube. It’s beginning to look like a Jetwing should. I should be able to get the engine on soon.
