Congrats! I've been working on my TW endorsement in a SuperCub and the only
thing left to work on is crosswinds. We've been waiting for some decent but
not insane crosswinds here lately and so far it's been either nothing or
20-40. But man what a blast!!! Went up Sunday and practiced wheel
landings, first one I botched bad and learned why not to try to save it, add
power and go around ! Second and third ones I nailed. Then it was on to
short and soft field TO/L's, the SuperCub goes up like an elevator! So far
I've got 7 1/2 hours and 34 TO/L's.

And congrats to you...but I must say, that's sort of like saying "I'm
working on my PPL and the only thing left is solo."

Ha! I agree with you!! I'm loving every minute of it and dieing to get more
time and more experience. My instructor and long time friend told me "you
know, we aren't going to do this in 1 day and when we are done, by no means
does it mean that you've developed the skills and experience to throw a
student in the front seat of this thing!" I couldn't agree with him more,
in some ways I feel like I'm soloing all over again.
