Hey, I'm posting!

Weird, ain't it? :D

Alrighty. Things significant in the two weeks since the previous post...

Well, I've flown once. I picked up a guy from church and went up to Bowling Green. I picked up something around two hours cross-country time as Pilot in Command. I need to build up fifty total hours, and I'm sitting on around twenty. Not too bad.

I've also been working on getting checked out to rent the airport's Diamond Star. It's a four-seater, complete with what's called a "glass cockpit." The Eclipse, which I normally fly, has all the instruments in a standard dial format, sorta like a standard watch. Well, if the Eclipse is like a standard watch, the Star is a digital watch. Most all of the instrument panel is two ten-inch displays. It's pretty complex (until you figure it out), but it's really powerful. I was rather amazed the other day when I got to get in it and spend about ninety minutes just learning about it by pushing and pulling buttons. It's a bit more capable than anything I've ever used before. I can't wait to take the plane up. :)

Church has been going well. Nothing new really. The sermon series have been quite good. The psalm meditation last week was quite good. Christ is still blessing us. Please be praying, though, that we would have more people coming, both those who know Christ and those who don't.

I'm really not coming up with a ton of other stuff to be posting. I'll try to post more regularly. I know, I say that a bunch, but oh well...

Video of the post. Hold on a second. Gotta upload a video to Youtube, one that I've been needing to for a while.
OK. Nathaniel took a video of a landing when he and I flew a few weeks ago. Here's the video. It was a little bit gusty wind, so not the best landing. However, the plane survived, and he didn't mind the slightly bumpy landing. :) Here's the video.

We enjoyed the video. What was that really weird squeaky noise right before you landed?

Did you turn the propeller off before landing?

OK. Quick explanation on the squeak. It's called the stall horn. Not much a horn, but oh well. It lets me know that I'm getting close to the speed at which I'm going to stall--lose sufficient lift to keep flying. Normally, I'd still be slightly too high at the point for the horn to be coming on (if I'm doing stuff right) but as windy as it was, it just sorta happened. I can explain more later, but that's the simple one.

The prop is just going slowly and the camera recording is just catching it looking like it's much slower than it really is. Engine was still doing an average of around 1000 RPM.

Yeah, that was a quick explanation. I can do a much more in-depth one if you like. :D
