Brady,Thank you for sharing your training experiences with everyone. I have not yet been able to start my own flight training,however I try to learn as much as I can by reading and following your progress. Is there a way you could possibly put more of your footage together and make a DVD of your training? Thanks again and keep the blue side up.

Brady,
Congratulations on your progress! I'm glad to hear you are proceeding so well toward becoming a pilot. Keep it up!
We met in Camp Scholler last summer during Airventure. My son, Marcel, was playing bean bag toss with a couple friends and you videotaped them. You mentioned it might make it on the website so I have been watching for it but haven't seen it. Did you do anything with that footage?

Brady,
Great job. It's so encouraging to see you succeed and overcome challenges. Thanks for being so open with sharing your struggles, as small as they may be. Prospective pilots like me need to see that.
I'm sure you've probably thought of this, but it would be great to see some of your landings from outside of the plane, especially to compare "stick back" landings to "stick forward" landings so we can get a better idea of what Jason is talking about. Do you think you can get someone to stand in the snow with video camera for you?

Mark, I’m glad you’re finding this blog useful. You bring up a great idea about making a DVD of all the lessons. We are beginning to explore ideas like this as a possible giveaway next year at the Learn to Fly booth at AirVenture. We’ll keep you posted.
Dane, Good to hear from you! I definitely remember your son and the bean bag toss. I ended up not getting enough footage to do a whole Camp Scholler video, but I still have the footage of Marcel. Since the video never made it online, if you’ll email me (blane@eaa.org) your address, I’ll send you the clips. I may try to collect more footage next summer to do a Camp Scholler montage video. I love the family culture of Camp Scholler!
Ron, Thanks for watching the blog. We’ve tossed around the idea of having somebody come out to video to get an outside perspective like you said. This might be a good time for it. I’ll see if I can recruit someone adventurous enough to brave the snow (and my landings).

Brady, thanks for doing such a great job sharing the excitement of learning to fly. Your video and comments bring back that thrill to those of us that remember the same lessons of stick and rudder so many years ago. Keep up the Great Work. Vr/ Buddy

First Solo experience.
Upon pushing in the throttle I felt completely relaxed and at ease. (I definitely have performance anxiety with a pro in the right seat). When the wheels left the ground I yelled into the empty cockpit something like, "this is @$%@!%# amazing!" The rest of this first solo pattern went as I've trained for except forgetting carb heat. When I confirmed taxi inst after landing with the tower I must have sounded short of breath. I will never forget it.

Thank you Brady! Needed a check ride to finish my Sport ticket. Changed instructors-so had to fly a different plane. Turned out it was a Remos. Found your blog and learned to fly the plane before I flew it. Thanks!!
