August 20th

After pottering around the house all day doing things and stuff, I went to the airport in the evening and took the plane out for a proper flight.  It's a bit quicker, and climbs nicely without too much drama - I was cruise climbing away from the river, and not paying attention to the vertical speed indicator.  I noticed at just over 1500', so I then had to lose height before heading back to the airport - a nice problem to have :o)  Not long now until I can fill the log book in and take passengers again :o)
