Dang,  am I rusty.  N400JW is a Piper Archer with a threadbare crushed-velour interior and a fading paint job that I have been flying, off and on, since 1998.  It fits like a comfortable old sweater or a favorite pair of jeans.  But it took me two tries to hack a basic 45 degree 360.   This is what I get for not flying in over a year.  But the instructor signed me off, which he did after the skillz came back.  I&#8217;m a good pilot, but I need a hell of a lot more practice before I feel as safe as I did when I was flying all the time.  But renting  that ship for an hour a week for a year is about what one of the major kit parts of the RV costs.  Slow build.  So I&#8217;m in a quandary.. I don&#8217;t like being this out of practice.. it&#8217;s not safe.  But I need to get on a regular skills maintenance program of some sort..
