Flying again after a 10 day wait!

Amazing, I just got to fly until it was dark, and actually touched down at the pad after dark. Cool to fly with landing lights for the first time. 1.5 hours of bliss, then flying back into a beautiful sunset, wish I could have taken a picture.  I hope I get to do it again tomorrow, if the weather cooperates.  I did some max. performance take-offs and steep approach landings.  Hovering in 16 knot winds gusting to 24 knots and actually maintaining altitude and staying over the pad! We did a 360 Auto from a 1000 feet - that was awesome!  Actually climbing to it was just as much fun.  We had zero ground speed and climbed at 500 feet per minute with the A/S indicator showing 35 knots because of the head wind.  We literally went straight up actually drifting backwards!  It had been 10 days and I was worried I wouldn't remember how to do any of it, but not so!  I got another A!  FUN - I LOVE IT!
