Directional control on takeoff was not pretty. The flight felt very good. And the landing was acceptable. The second flight wasn't remarkable, but tonight...oh my! I took the doors off and flew from 7-8pm I wish I could have flown at night during my Phase I. Relaxing,enjoyable, I am on cloud nine as I write this. I did 15-20 touch and goes on sod and somewhere along the line my tail wheel springs came off. I don't know if I had them too loose or too tight. Wondering what to get and how to attach them so they don't come off again? Looking forward to my next evening flight.
