Mustered the guts to take my first trip out of the pattern = to a local airport (LVJ). Flew over LVJ for a few minutes and awkwardly ent= ered the pattern. Awkward as I was moving must faster than I am use to. Do= wn to pattern altitude of 800 feet but was close to the opposite numbers. S= tarted to correct for downwind and the engine quite. WTF!! =20 Saw that since I was closer runway 32, made a descending S turn (kinda) and= came over 32 fast. The plane wanted to keep flying. I bleed off speed and = lowered the speed brake as I used up runway with the wind behind me, sat he= r down at about the correct 80 knt's and applied my human powered anti lock= brakes and coasted to the last turn off. The 4000' runway seemed to pass q= uickly compared to my home fields 9000'.=20 A buddy of mine was right behind me in his RV-8, recognizing me in the patt= ern. He landed and stopped. I then got a group from the airport who had hea= rd my radio traffic and watched my landing.=20 The engine started with some difficulty and ran a little rough as I taxied = it to the tie down area.=20 My buddy with the RV gave me a ride back to our home airport in his plane. = I am here thinking about which tools I may need to take over there. I have= yet to pull the cowl. I may take a breath and wait until tomorrow as I onl= y have a couple of hours of sunlight left.=20 Just needed to share/purge and wrap my head around this.=20 On a positive note, I flew twice today and left the pattern........ :-/ Hey, Ed, I thought you were suppose to keep this reward?????
