A friend put his biplane on its nose about 2 months ago
trying to land at Lake Wohlford - think I'll pass on that until I get a LOT more
confidence landing this thing. My landings are still hit and miss. Have a whole
string of decent ones and then just when I thing I have it figured out I'll have
a pretty good bounce.
Yeah, I have a lot of flying to do.

French Valley is outside my test area. So far I havent
really flown anywhere but Borrego and back, but I'm going to start
expanding that a little. The trip to Borrego is getting boring.

Boring?? You spent 10+ years
building that thing and the flying is getting boring after only 20 or so
hours??? :-)
Besides exploring that lean Cruise, you have some
aerobatics to do. After all, if not done during phase 1, you cant do them
in phase 2. Spins? Snap rolls? Not to mention loops, rolls and
what-not. Time to start exploring those lean settings, high altitude
stuff, Vne testing. Also there is a ton of cool stuff to check out
in the desert and in the mountains on the way there. Land at Agua
Caliente, Fallbrook, Ramona, and even lake Wolford and Ocotillo Wells if you get
brave. Call me up and I will give you the intro to formation
flying.
... but I know what you mean.. If your box is the same as
mine, it is probably one of the largest and most diverse phase 1 boxes in the
country.. yet I may still have pushed mine a little by flying north to 29
palms and east over the salton sea..
