I happened to drive by your house a few months ago when picking up a piece of equipment ( ya I spotted the gmc out of the corner of my eye 200 yards off the main drag , call it an affliction )and stopped back on the return trip. I cannot speak for the interior but it was looking good on the outside for sure.

>ask me how I know this

Me, either. The only thing I know that gets in the same $$-league as PPL are horses.

Besides the flight plans (screw that), and the fact that a really good day for flying was also a really good day for sailing, the FAA pretty much ruled out even simplistic mods & upgrades, like better insulation in the doors.

>experimental

Yeah, whatever you want --except passengers

I got hit hard by a case of pilot's vertigo once. I was VFR over a large body of water at late, hazy dusk. The sky and the water were exactly the same color. I knew the shoreline well and could see lights coming on along the shoreline ....only problem was they were'nt lights, they were stars. Getting my horizon straight meant telling my stomach that my brain wasn't seeing right. The only reason I was able to squelch the nausea was every orifice was clenched so tight nothing could escape.

Vertigo..................from flight school........get on the gauges now!

I haven't had experience with vertigo yet of course as I am still un soloed. Getting close though, passed my basics of flying quiz and my pre solo exam 100%. Had a flight from 2-4pm today and it was a beautiful day for flying. Only problem was the female pilot who seems to think that turning base
2 miles away from where you should turn base is acceptable. I hate extending my downwind so I said screw it and we went and flew some 180 emergency descents, 45 degree turns, and a couple of power off stalls. Also flew my 21 year old instructor out to the site of the Oso landslide as he had only seen pictures and never saw it from the air. Luckily enough when we returned to the pattern the gal that likes to extend her downwind was gone so I was able to do some proper pattern approaches and what an awesome day for flying!!! 20.8hrs and counting. My "New" instructor was actually very surprised I only had 20hrs. He said my stick and rudder skills are just as good as his. After our final landing he asked me how comfortable I was with a solo flight soon and I feel great about it.

Once you get a feel for the aircraft, in my case a 1979 Cessna 172N with 180hp conversion, you have the feel. The airplane becomes an extension of yourself and you don't have to think about what to do regardless of the configuration of the airplane..... you just do it naturally.

On the Vertigo subject though....... Turn coordinator, if the little airplane is not turning and the ball is in the center.... you are not turning.
Artificial horizon, if the airplane is on the line and not in the blue or brown, then the airplane is not climbing or descending.

Then again, haven't experienced for myself.
