First Spin

Propeller clear. Rudder set. I felt a quick shudder pass through my frame, clicking neatly into place. I tried giving my nose a light nudge—and my three-blade propeller spun freely with a faint, smooth click! Right ahead of me across the marked white centerline stood another aircraft, completely motionless on its green base. I tested my balance on the pedestal, tilting slightly toward the painted runway below. The heading looks solid.
