Putting on the hours.
Based on the number of bugs attached to the leading surfaces, I have flow way more than forty hours. Based on the log, I have another twenty hours to go.
I need to have logged forty hours before the FAA will let me take up passengers.
I am learning much on these initial flights. Like careful leaning reduced the fuel consumption from 6 to 5 gallons per hour, cruising at 90 mph, 2000 RPM, 3500 feet.
Climbing out at Vy (71 mph) pins the rate of climb scale at 2000 feet per minute. All you see is blue sky and clouds. One is at pattern altitude long before reaching the end of the runway. Amazing.
