A very nice evening flight with Anna, who had not flown in a small aircraft before. Smooth air and a nice moon opposite a nearly setting sun made for a great first flight experience!

    Awesome video, the smile says it all :)  Good power off landing too. I have seen your other videos. Do you usually land power off?

    Thank you for the comments everyone. I've shared them with Anna as well...Great Fun! 

    To Rizzy: Thanks on the landing, I like to do them often in order to keep my skill level up. However, I only do them when there is no potential conflict with other traffic at our grass airfield, and if carrying a passenger, with their prior approval (no surprises when the engine shuts off). I have electric start, so my method is to shut off the engine and then flip the ignition switches back on. That way if I'm not happy with the way the glide is progressing, I can hit the start switch and be back under power very quickly.

    I think you do an amazing job with those power off landings...you make them look easy :D
