Lots of 5th-gradish-looking kids out back. Hap's was having a field trip airplane ride day. Mike says $59 a pop.

Before:
straight and level:
takeoff
landings. Hold nose up maybe 2 seconds after main wheels touchdown.
What are we watching? Horizon and key indicators. get used to tracking them.

We flew a new (to us) plane today. We messed up the cabin air thingies, couldn't get them back in to work right after they fell out.

Keeping on course on takeoff. Wings level. Vy. Oil pressure.

Anytime we're climbing more than 100 ft., use full power.
Rudder is making sense now.

Steep turns: Move quickly into 30º turn, add lots of nose-up trim while going the rest of the way to 45º. Keep the horizon in sight always. Let the trim hold it. Keep flying the plane for gusts and such. Cross-check horizon, altimeter, bank indicator, horizon, altimeter, bank indicator... On rollout, use lots of nose-down pressure, keep horizon in sight, get level then re-trim.
Landing. Don't flare too soon.

I need to find a close park so I can go there right afterwards and process all this stuff. Maybe Seneca Park.
