Subject: Re: [LML] Open Canopy

hmmm whilst we are all baring our souls and confessing-its happened to me twice...both occasions had a happy ending

The first was a couple of years ago when I was with an experienced instructor checking him out-he was in the left seat-a case of too much chatter and no clear pilot in command

The second was recently when I was hot and bothered and anxious to get off the ground-my fault entirely

yours in contrition
