Hand prop proceedures, climbs, level off, straight and level, medium bank turns, steep turns, slow flight, power-off stall, power off descents, slips, full stall landing, taxi with proper contol input. Discussed cross contro stalls, slips vs. skids. Wind 160@10
Flew to OXV for fuel. Take-off, climb, track roads with wind, turns about-a-point (left and right), pattern @ OXV, full stall landing, taxi on pavement, slips, pattern @ IA66
Light winds, control-imput, take off, climb, climbing turns, emphasis on coordination, level-off proceedures, Clearing turns, steep turns (good), slow flight with turns, stalls with and witout power (imminent and full), slips left and right, descents, emergency power-off approaches to off-field landings, (simulated to 500 feet AGL), go around (balked landing), full stall landings. Reviewed loss-of-power on takeoff (impossible turn).
Stalls in turns, steep turns, slips left and right. Full stall landings and taxi back with two from the back seat to emphasize the need for peripheral vision.Introduced the wheel landing. Most landings good with one or two ballooned, one flared too high resulting in a go-around.
Wind 180@10. Extreme slow flight , hangin' on the prop, wakin' the stall off with rudder until stall/spin entry and recovery. Steep turns. Prepeated to the left due to altitude excursion. Slips left and right to pattern altitude. In the tappern: one full stall andding and then into wheel landings, all but one good. Rick is ready for tail wheel and BFR endorsements. Suggest one more session with opperations on pavement.
Departed IA66 with Rob Foster for 1Y5 but had to land at MIW due to IFR conditions. Waited for it to clear and headed back to home base with a stop at GGI. Met Bill Owen and checked out his projects.
Took Rob Foster to New Hampton to pick up his car. No one there but an old couple and thier dogs. Very cold! Flew on to CCY and refueled. Rob arranged to meet his contact there. They had red and black 1939 T-craft and a 1967 Cherokee Arrow (N4620J).
