Nice and smooth. You'll get higher naturally I wish I learned at your field. When you go around the town just practice gliding so you can get a feel for it. Then always have an emergency spot to land if something happens. It helps me stay calm. When I'm flying other places I get anxious when I don't have a field in mind to glide to if my engine quits. You can probably notice the rpm your plane likes to cruise at if you can stay level without using the elevator. So practice climbing, and ascending turns. Then gliding and descending turns. They are all what you just did but different throttle settings. Then you can practice a descending turn as your turn to base and final. Just stay at a safe airspeed so you don't get too slow. If you feel the wind dying down on your face be ready to push forward on the elevator to keep your airspeed up. (10mph over stall speed) The idea is to get it lined up perfectly so when you straighten out, you're right over center line. I always turn with either more throttle or a slight nose down attitude to maintain airspeed and coordination in the turn. I feel like you know this already but it's good to be sure you're doing it right.
@@jordonweets The pleasure is mine so thank you. I'm over here in central IL. Working thru paramotoring at the moment but after that's accomplished I just may revisit the quick. In the mean time I'm living vicariously through you. Thanks again!

Nice...your really making me miss my quick in a bad way! What state you flying out of?
I fly from southwest Minnesota. So if ya miss the old one I suggest get another one, you know how fun they are. 😁 but seriously thanks for watching.

Just elevator and rudder?
Yep all on the stick too. It's an 1984 or 85 mx. Thanks for watching.
