Another lesson you have not quite learned: Aerobatic tolerance is a learned skill not usually attained on the first flight! You got to go easy on low timers. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD USA
I recommend ziplock plastic bags for barf bag to clock away that odour.

Well, I just got in from having a new adventure in the life of N41768. A first for me as a pilot and for my plane. I just had my first passanger that has ever THROWN UP! Talk about an experience that I wasnt quite prepared for. One of my friends has a 15 year old daughter that was dying for an airplane ride - first time for her. So We hopped in - beautiful weather - CAVU ! Air was calm. Took off and flew over to my house where her folks were and we circled and buzzed the place a couple times and then headed over to her house - circled and took some photos. We leveled off about 1500 AGL and she then said "I think Im a little sick and might throw up" I sat there saying OH BOY and three second later came the spagetti. 95% on her and 5% on plane. Pretty good for me considering the odds and the size of a KR! We headed back to land - she said she was sorry about ten times - I said no problem - just unexpected (thank God for fresh air vents) Landed fine, went to the hanger and got her cleaned up. We hopped back in, and little fresher and lighter, took off and went up to 5000 feet - smooth and calm air and watched the sun go down - absolutely marvelous sunset! Came back and landed. She said it was the best day she ever had. Was never nervous or scared. Lesson learned : on new passengers - have them hold an OPEN barf bag ready for filling! Some passengers may not give you much advance warning. Lesson Two: Air fresheners N41768 "out"
