Don't ever let the fear of landing keep you from taking off!
Thanks for the birthday wishes guys (I agree with Rob we 11 April birthday guys are awesome). I also got an awesome birthday gift from Margaret, a voucher for a 30 minute flight over the Hunter Valley in a Tiger Moth. Yeehaaaa

Thanks for the b'day wishes.
Frank, have a ball on your moth flight, literally.
If you pay attention you will note that a lot of rudder is needed to keep the aircraft out of slip/ skid.
Hence why the balance ball is situated in a primary instrument position on the panel.
If you screw up with keeping the ball centered at the wrong time that aircraft will just terminate you.
Beautiful aircraft to fly and fly in though.
Having a few hours in the moth myself as a pilot I describe the experience as magic in every sense of the word. One of the best aircraft of all time IMHO.
Remember mate , your only as old as the woman your feeling
