Yes and no, I took training about 35 hrs in a cessna 172 Skyhawk all the way to solo and some towered airport exercises until I ran out of money. Also have been at the controls of a Kitfox and citabria. But I started much like you, taxi, crow hops and this past weekend held 3/5’ agl entire length of runway, about 5,000’
@@douglasmoran3070 sounds like you got more than the basics and should be good 👍 have fun and record that it's a awesome thing you gona wana remember. Report back or look me up on face book.
I won't have decent weather again till sat or sun it looks like here. so, depending on work I'd like to get my engine swapped then I'll be attempting a 50-to-60-mile round trip to my grandmas as soon as they start harvesting the beans. I have seen one field being combined already so it's not to far off.
@@jordonweets saw the warmers and the snap on hat and knew you had to be in a northern climate. Looks great man !! A hero 7 @2.7k and Magix video software is all you need to bring your videos a bit better clarity. Looks beautiful there. Look out for Karens and the 500' rule.
@@jordonweets It is important to understand the FAR's pertaining to the operation of aircraft etc. there is always one Karen or Ken looking to cause trouble and it sucks for every pilot. What Trent Palmer is dealing with is a a classic example of the bureaucracy you do not want to run into. check out 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes; general o Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes: (a) Anywhere -An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.

Not really maby id say over 5 i start to reconsider. but ya I just prefer the wind sock to be mostly down. but that hasn't always stopped me lol. I like the smooth glassy air but just last time I flew (soon to be vid #18) I started in the middle of the day so it was thermally and I was gonna call it quits but I forced my self to keep practicing and I think that helped tons I'm way more confident when the plane is going up and down 10 or 15 feet lol not a huge deal anymore. I'll work on keeping the next video shorter but still showing the turbulence and some of the other cool milestones that happened thanks for watching and also thanks for the great questions.
@@commentatron ya sometimes it's a little crazy and the black tar runway don't help lol but ya I guess now that I think about it once i get low enough it doesn't seem to bother that much.

Do you have a specific wind speed number that's a no-go? Like 0-4 mph okay, but 5 or over, nope.

@@jordonweets Does the up and down on final get iffy, or does ground effect take that off the table?
