boy do I look like a dope in the docking clip. idle is too high and I'm out of practice. Water was very cold and we did not have a rope. Made it without getting wet.

Charlie - you are having too much fun to be legal!

Say - have you ever flown a "trike"? They seem a heck of a lot more affordable than cockpit planes.

I'd trade an hour of cub dual for an hour of trike dual. Who's got one near NE PA 76N?

hmmm - I'm pretty sure a Trike can only be flown with two people if one is doing instruction.

if ultralight trikes were real "cross country" critters I'd consider using my ultra-challenged budget for one.

It depends on your definition of cross country. We fly the trikes on a lot of 50 - 90 mile cross country jaunts. Sometimes just for lunch. It isn't like a closed cockpit plane, but it is fun in the summer.
