If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Re: One down outside of Durango today

Congrats man. I'm exactly T minus 1 month away. I would have someone do a badass flyover during the ceremony but they'd need really a small N# to avoid getting called in by the neighbors.
