So I've been building an ultralight
Santoro:
Back here for the first time in a long time, this is really cool Danny!
danny_galaga:
Thanks 🙂
Sadly I'm thinking I might sell it. I feel I may have lost my nerve flying in general.
pbj:
Glad to see you aren't dead. I was beginning to wonder. What happened?
danny_galaga:
I had to get back up to speed with my flying. Went to a flying school. Did six hours and feel I barely scraped through . To put it in perspective, when I started flying again about 7 years ago, I hadn't flown in over 15 years. It took me six hours to 're solo'. I feel I've kinda painted myself into a corner with my plane.

It's amazing how quickly flying skills degrade. I've got like 200 hours now, but when I was at about 150 I didn't fly for like a month, then got back up for some pattern work and was completely out of whack -- sensations felt foreign, was anxious about landing.. etc..
I love that at least in the US, you can drop it for a while and just get a new flight review and pick it back up -- it's a lifetime cert. The medical certification on the other hand.... that can ground you.
