Flying

I fly a Beechcraft Musketeer, during my flight lessons, from Reese Field located southeast of Muncie, Indiana. Right now, I am in the presolo stage of my lessons and hope to solo on my 16th birthday in January. Crosswind landings are a sticking point for me. I either "land up in the air" when I have a nice sideslip going, or I land sideways (which my instructor LOVES!) and nearly go off the 50ft wide runway. S-turns and stalls are easy and wind correction is a breeze. I love talking on the radio because I am already a Ham radio operator. I currently have a Tech license and am working on Morse code so that I can get my General license.
