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

Re: There Must Be Some Sort of Misunderstanding

That is looking 180 deg true. Yes that is the west slope of Mt Shasta. Made my first departure to the north today, slightly uphill but into about 8kts strait down the nice grass.

Re: Kind of Fun

Tim,

Looks great and what a nice view. You're just over the hill (Mt. Shasta from me) -- down here in Redding in the flat lands. Would love to come up and land on your nice grass sometime....? Gotta make some trips to Oregon in the near future, and would like to overfly and check our your field. How do I find it?
