Solo'd today...in one o'them planes with no engine...Blanik L-13
Well...here in "the groups" we usually hear about power pilot (ASEL)
solos...but few of the others.
I got 'stalled' on my CFI training last spring and decided to work
toward a glider rating. First Flight July 23, after 33 flights I
solo'd today. Awesome...I remember when I solo'd in a power
plane...except now it's ALWAYS a Power-off landing : )
Very quiet...very very quiet...
I was actually high on final and had to slip 'er down...but no sweat.
Am going straight for Commercial rating...only needs a few flights
more + tighter tolerances than PP-Glider
I'm motivated to tackle the ASEL CFI this winter now, too!
Maybe CFI-G in a year or two once I have more experience
