I was introduced to flying at Wild Rose Idlewild Airport, a beautiful Class G airport with north-south/east-west grass runways hidden among the pine trees and farm fields of northern Wisconsin. My husband and I purchased our first aircraft; Eipper's Quicksilver weight shift, single-seat, ultralight aircraft from Don Gibbs. Owner and ultralight pilot, Don also became our first instructor; meeting us at the airport when the winds were less than 3kts. Standing at the end of the runway giving instructions; "Taxi to the end of the runway and back. Shift your weight back and fly just a foot off the runway, then shift your weight forward and land. Continue these crow-hops as many times as you can in each direction." I have been hooked on flight lessons every since. RIP Don. Old pilots never die, they just take a different plane.
