I was kinda doing slow flight, slow flight without the use of flaps only
slows me to about 80mph. Even on the 360s, I still wasnt out of glide
range of the runway for very long, if at all. If I followed the other plane
out to where he was flying his pattern, I wouldnt have had to make the
360s. I dont care to fly that wide and long of a pattern. Afterthought --
I should have left the airport area for 15-20 minutes or more and then came
back to do some more T&Gs. (IIRC) The other plane was only ahead of me for
the first 3 landings, then he parked and another plane came in for a
landing, causing the go around, after that the pattern was pretty clear.
