First Date

After the proper introductions Monday morning (March 30) I rolled my new T2C to the launch line for our first date that afternoon.  We didn't exactly hit it off at first as we took to the air like awkward teenagers in the back of the family car.  Apparently she didn't appreciate the little moves that worked for me in the past.  She ran and climbed with the best but her quirky moves and responses threw me off my game.  She also leaned strongly to the left, but I was sure I could convince her to go straight with a little "quality time" back on the ground.  We spent the afternoon getting to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, seeing how far we could push things before the other would complain or push back.  Although it wasn't love at first flight, we ended the date with a sweet little landing that proved we could have a future together.

Flights: 1, Airtime: 3:15

Pictures, please. When you get a chance.

A 3 hour 15 minute flight?!? Sounds like a pretty good first date! Glad to see you posting. If we aren't flying or at least not flying much we can at least fly vicariously through you.

Duration vs. intensity. It's usually the trade-off in matters of pleasure but HG seems to enable you to optimize the dueling pair (unlike those teenager you reference). Glad to hear you are giving WW a spin! - Lee

Kinda weird entry there, Tom.
Is it getting a little lonely in that tent at night? :)
