Summer goals

[Greg Jackson]

I'm trying to get some new threads started because everyone is out flying and not on the computer.  Because it is so hot, I'm spending more time inside then I did between Feb-Early June.  So thought it would be cool for the synergy members to list their flying goals for this summer. 
For me, I want to be more consistent with all hurricanes and funnels, and start doing piro flips on the real thing instead of the sim.  Also get better at 4 point tic tocs and perfect the snake.  Maybe by the end of the summer execute these maneuvers lower then the 50-100 feet I'm doing them at now lol.

My Summer goal is to suck it up and and get a set of glasses so I can see what I'm doing.  Getting old sucks! 

[Greg Jackson]

Hopefully you mean sunglasses and not REAL glasses.  Who knows, when you get the "specs" you might start flying like a beast!

[curmudgeon]

I mean real glasses.  I had LASIK 11 years ago, but my eyesight is deteriorating.  My ophthalmologist claims I do not need glasses yet.  A second ophthalmologist said the same thing.  Regardless, I know I don't see the same as say 5 years ago.

Been saying for the past 3 years to start practicing auto-rotations....Still a goal for me this summer.

See, that is why I don't want to do LASIK because it isn't really permanent. If someone is going to cut into my eye I want it to be something that never has to happen again!

I'm still too chicken to do autos yet.  I guess it is because when I tried at a couple of inches off the ground the Heli seemed to slam down pretty hard.  I still don't think I have TH set up correctly.

I'm working on funnels in all orientations and I plan on autoing my E7 by the end of summer. 

[Rodney Kirstine]

The E7 is great to learn autos on.  The E5 autos pretty well, too, it's just quite a bit quicker coming down than the E7. 

[Greg Jackson]

Maybe learning autos on the E5 is not the best one for first attempts.  I wanted to do autos on something smaller to learn them actually; one reason I bought the mini protos. Though I've heard it doesn't auto that well either. But I won't be as scared to damage something on that as I would the e5.

[Ben Kerr]

I wouldn't even try to auto the mini go right to the E5. The mini looses head speed way to quickly.

[Greg Jackson]

I'm at the point where I'm about to lose the mini all together.

Well my summer goal is simple. Fly and fly often. LOL missed a lot last year due to medical issues with my son.

Progression is always great! But I need the stress release this summer.

That is another goal for me.  More flying time.  Glad your son is doing good this summer though.
