Mar 29/18 – Flying CH 701
Another 1.6 hrs in my Zenair CH 701 STOL. Mostly in circuit – I am really starting to grease the landings. Short XC flight to Grimsby then east along lake shore and then back to CNZ8
Great fun

March 4/18 – 1.3 hrs in Cherokee
Great smooth flying yesterday. From St. Catharines CYSN to Grimsby CNZ8 to check on condition of runway. Low and over pass confirmed that snow needs to melt more. Then to Welland CNQ3 for touch and go on 05. The to fly over the Niagara Falls then back to NOTL and CYSN. Great flight with very little turbulence.
Feb 28/18 – More winter flying…
Its has been almost 3 months since I flew the Piper Cherokee so it was time to take it up for spin. Normally I would feel bit nervous not having flown this type for so long but this time it was no issue, it was like when I was flying it on regular bases. I have been focusing on the 701 which is much more challenging to fly and utilize the STOL capabilities. I do miss the PPG flying but it has to be warm – waiting for the 15 C plus temperatures to come…
