Just got to go flying again today in a Grumman Yankee, first time flying a low-wing aircraft too. I did some turns-around-a-point and stalls it very fun. :) So the thats about 2 hours of time I've flown for $0 ;D

I have a friend with a Yankee, nice little plane. When ever we get together, it is a case of "you have control" ( I have a glider license, but power is beyond my budget, so he takes pity on me). Just one thing about the Yankee though, don't spin it or you will be going home in a box :'(

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
