HI THERE ALL

CONGRATS NO 1. I WILL BE NO 2 ON THURSDAY MORNING WEATHER PERMITS. I COULD HAVE GONE TODAY BUT WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR GOT OUT OF THE PLAIN TO SEND ME SOLO I TOLD HIM I CAN'T GO SOLO I'M ONLY DOING MY MEDICAL AND STUDENTS LICENCE TOMORROW SO I CAN ONLY GO SOLO ON THURSDAY MORNING " #*#^% COULD HAVE BEEN THIS MORNING". WILL KEEP YOU ALL UP TO DATE.

TO THINK I'M GOING SOLO ON MY OWN MICROLIGHT NOT MANY STUDENT DO THAT, SEE I BOUGHT MY INSTRUCTORS AQUILLA 582 ( ZU DLY) HE IS STILL WAITING FOR HIS NEW MICROLIGHT FROM SOLO WINGS. JUST TO THINK I'M LEARNING ON MY OWN PLANE.

CHEERS ALL

Xclamation! Good luck m8 - it is really a feeling do train on your own plane!

My first solo was on my instructor's plane with his like 17m2 wing, my wing is 14.9 squares and he thought it better to do the solo on his and then grow into the smaller wing... Needless to say - I put the hours on his and not mine ;)

Out of this world, there is nothing like going solo for the first time. The plane handles totally different than with the instructor at the back. You climb like a bullet out a gun. The controls are more sensitive than usual and much smaller inputs are needed to get a result. Believe me no one can prepare you for your first solo flight. :shock: :D
