I haven't posted for over three weeks now. My beautiful wife took me to Kauai for my birthday the last two weeks in September and it was stormy here most of last week so... no flying for a few weeks. All is not lost, however... I finally got word from Provo city that my hangar access pass is ready and last week I paid them a visit. I now have gate access to the hangar area. This makes life much more enjoyable and simplifies the task of getting me and my flight bag/junk to my hangar.
I have installed several HD video cameras in my plane so that I can see what is causing that hysterical laughter on the tower frequency when I land. I guess they are seeing my attempts to fly and land from a very entertaining viewpoint that I was just not seeing. My first attempt at taking video was somewhat of a disaster but it seems to have paid dividends. If you visit my youtube channel you'll see that I had the camera orientation all wrong and got no audio. This goofy but valuable video from Sept 15th helped me see however what I was doing wrong on my landings and has improved my landing performance. I'm sure the guys in the Provo tower will be depressed that their prime source of entertainment has been (for now anyway) take away.
Huge kudos to CFI Bob for both sticking with me and for coaching me to better my performance in all aspects of flight so far and specifically the progress made with my landings. Made 7 good landings today.
