Today is the first flyable day since my return to the Philippines. The fly site is finally open. I did psych myself up the night before. But then I had a rough night and woke up feeling tired. I decided not to fly.

By midday, halfway through work, I took a shower and felt my energy coming back. I called Kelvin, who has been at the site since morning, to come pick me up for a sunset solo flight.

Turned out, I had a great flight today. I was able to manoeuvre thru strong and unstable winds and practiced my pitching control. Also, I was able to decide when and where to land, did it with precision, landed standing up with one foot forward (Daru will be proud of me)! Finally!

I’m so thankful for all the flights I had in Bali, my confidence level is increasing bit by bit. I’m not there yet, but whose rushing?

Not me.
