Flying the Cardinal

I went out for my first single-engine lesson in Cliff's Cardinal. Technically it's a high-performance craft and was a pretty cool ride. Dealing with three different power knobs plus flaps plus 2 radios and doing this in Honolulu airport with all the jets was a royal pain. I need a lot more training..... But it was pretty impressive to be able to just climb up 1000ft without thinking too hard about it. Now if only Ryan would get his license already so we can commute to Maui.
