I misinterpreted the above comments and after being away for 4 weeks on a road trip to far north Queensland (), I was busting to fly so I tripped down to the field. Noone was there but the runway was still short wnough for a couple of quick flights.
On the first flight, I was being dogged by the magpie and almost tripped in some mud waliking backwards to a flying position! The plane mimicked my almost tripping action but both recovered without loss of dignity. I bounced around inthe wind for a couple of flights before getting a bit sensible and deciding it was maybe a bit gusty for relaxed come-back flying and even if I did some cool ground avoiding maneuver - who would be there to see it? .
