    I'd recognize that voice anywhere. With Eric Dufour as your instructor you are in the best hands this sport has to offer. More experience than any instructor in the USA.. Strong, exact and demanding. You will learn more under Eric than you could think possible. I know, I was in your shoes 24 years ago and I'm still flying.

    God bless the amazing women who let us be boys when we're getting older! Thanks for another vid. Your vids and flights keep getting smoother. Split your vision on takeoff, 80% wing, 20% ground. Watch that bad boy all the way up until you reach the sky. Landing under about 20% steady power is nice and allows you keep that same power for taxi or touch/go. My flight safety officer is the best. When I ask a safety question, she's always saying "i dunno, maybe, what do you think?" Yeah, you can't buy that kind of commitment and assurances of safety.

    Makes me jealous. Nothing but cold and rain/snow here for cpla months. I aint been in the air in a while. That takeoff looked fine. Sometimes you gotta dance with it a bit as the wing doesnt always wanna glide straight. You kept rolling, got under it and success. Not too shabby, as it wasnt long ago, you would botch more than not. Thanks for another vid! Oh, your vid skillz are improving. Nice smooth camera and neat transitions.
