    Oh wow! Tahoe would be so great....make sure and put a Mobius on her for the flight. I've been to Tahoe a couple times(long ways from Iowa)

    Flying at my "go to" lake with the DHC Beaver today. Had a water rudder sticking on me. Got that straigtened out with a little adjusting.
    At the 4:40 time. You will notice i realized there was a problem. Infact, the first time i took off, i thought something wasn't right because of how it pulled to the right during take off.

    Thanks CloudRider! Depending on the plane, the wind....those landings can be challenging for years to come :)

    Love this P-38!!
    For what it's worth....The landing was the least desireable that i've had. But the stock landing gear held up just fine! Note to self: Power thru the landing.
    Wow she's a beauty, especially out in that clear blue sky! Landing is still cleaner than mine, my biggest room for improvement being a newbie

    Add me to the trouble list. I started posting with the screen name pgiroma, but somehow got logged out and tried to re-enter using the forgot password path, but the link I followed would not let me in using the supplied password. I got so frustrated that I was about to leave, especially since I could not sign up using the same email address. I finally tried signing up using my secondary email with screen name VOODOO. Don't know how to access any messages I received as pgiroma.

    A few short flights tonight. Changed some settings on the Mobius to see if i could tell the difference. Sun was just about ready to drop behind the horizon. Wind 8-10mph.
