some pics of my ef yak. took alot of tries to get me the plane and mt. hood in the background during the hovering.

here are some pics of us going into duluth minnesota. the clouds were 100 feet above minimums so 300 feet above the ground. it was intense but awesome! my instructor says that i was born to fly in the clouds cas i love it so much!!

did my first ifr cross country yesterday. we flew from grand forks, ND to duluth, MN. it was bright and sunny in grand forks and overcast 700 in duluth. this allowed me to get some actual IMC time. got to shoot the ILS into duluth and broke of the clouds 400 feet AGL. this is 200 feet above minimums so it was pretty intense for my first time in actual. im definitely hooked on flying in the clouds!

flight number 7 done over my spring break. put 6 flights on her in two days. cant wait until summer to fly the crap out of my yaks.

extreme flight yak 54 74" (5 min 23 sec)

well here she is. my new extreme flight yak 54 74". this thing is awesome. powered by an os 160 with apc 18*6 prop and hs 5985 servos all around. have only got the maiden on her so far as im back at school again but man is thing awesome!!.

well i finally did it. this morning i had my final faa check ride for my private pilot license at the university of north dakota! the ride went well. tuned in to the wrong vor on my gps #2 but caught it later on. that really was the only problem i had! there is no better feeling than when he handed me my wings! he was really impressed. this was a long time coming and now im going home for the summer to make more money to begin on my instrument rating!!

finally got my solo cross country done so i am very close to getting my private license

did some flying today in fairly high winds and did a photoshoot.

my first student from start to finish has soloed!! he did it in only two days of buddy boxing with only 8 flights total. granted he had quite a bit of simulator time. i taught him and soloed him on a hangar-9 superstick .40. he had no problem landing on the second flight and i never had to take it over once!
he is hooked for good and bought ultra stick .40. now if all of my future students would be this easy!!


he now has an ultra stick .40. its ready to go but waiting for some decent weather to go fly it!

ultra stick has maidened and flys awesome. full flaps make it almost come to a standstill. my student is now flying solo all of the time and is getting very good. luckily he lets me fly the plane every once in a while as we are at school so i dont have any of my planes here.

did some flying back by our amazing hockey arena at the university of north dakota. very cold out and lots of snow. made it hard to see the white plane. need to paint it i suppose

i am studying to be a commercial airline pilot at the university of north dakota. i have found that there is no greater thing than flying!!
