First Solo
Hi Gang!,
Sorry I don't get to check in much on the group, I just find going through google to be a PITA! Did want to let everyone know that though the training has been going pretty slow(flew the Cub 3 hours in April). Finally went and put in 4 hours weekend before last and flew again on Thursday...and got surprised! My first solo! My first landing was pretty dern ugly to say the least but figured out the errors and made corrections and the last two were very nice. Big difference in how the Cub felt with a CFI in the front versus the lighter load. So I had the first landing ..a close groundloop! HAHA A nice wheel landing for the second and a nice stall landing for the third. All in 10-12 k crosswinds. I wasn't nervous about the solo, but was sure happy as heck to have it out of the way! Best part is the new girlfriend had gotten me a 200 flying gift card (so to speak) while I was taking a shower after my successful solo! A nice dinner in Atlanta at Carraba's for celebration made for a well done solo day (to me at least!). I'm getting realllllll close now guys and gals! Hope to go back to Macon and fly again by the weekend, since I have to help my niece and her hubby move this weekend. Patrick aircraft structural mech student SP |
