I’m back from two days of 750 training with Buzz Flight Academy<\/a> in Lawrenceberg, TN and I’m very happy to say that flying the 750 is a blast. Phew! I’m going to put up a more detailed post about it later but just to say that it took a little while to fight my desire to move the stick – “never move the stick” is one of the major things I learned. It is all rudder and a few gentle nudges. <\/p>\n

But after a couple of hours I was nailing the majority of my landings (very different technique to the Cessna 172) and at the end of 5 hours I was enjoying steep turns in the pattern to a landing, something I would never do in the 172. If my bird flies like Buzzy’s it is going to be a blast.<\/p>\n

Throughout most of the training there were at least two, sometimes three, cameras on so I am curious to see the footage. They often put edited highlights on their Youtube page but they also said they will send me a CD with everything on. Either way I’ll post some video here when I have it, but in the meantime Teri captured the start of one of the afternoon sessions.<\/p>\n
