	The other instructor said, "First solo? Off a GRASS runway? Is it SAFE!?" with a tone of isn't-that-irresponsible... A firm grass runway for a tailwheel plane is much safer than paved - it's a lot more forgiving of slight crab angles on touchdown. Yes, methinks we need to give our instructors better instruction! :-) Matt  |
