Default Practice is starting to pay

This weekend I took the ole funtana out for a huckfest. I really have not flown much since spring (we moved and a carrer change) But practice on the sim (and a little in the air) is starting to show. After my last flight of the day my rudder was busted to heck, too cool!! can't wait to fix it and do it again!!! LOL
I'll try ro get some pics to post of the damage ha!!
Who else is really starting to notice their hard work pay off, drop a line, share your story.

I really wanted a 106 for it but they are quite expensive here in canada, so I went with a DA 100. Still going to be pretty sweet

Ahhh...

Cessna 170. We have one and I absolutely love it. Love the rudder bashing action you've got going on there as well.
