Went solo on my Challenger yesterday. 40 minutes of some excellent flying. A few touch and goes , stalls and steep turns to get the feel for the new plane.

She now has 3.3 hours on the Hobbs, and that includes 1 h 10 min for the engine break in!

Welldone Fightstar, many happy and safe flying hours! :D I flew my challenger back to Morningstar from Saldana on Saturday as Morph says "Right of Passage" . All went well apart from a few smacks of turbulance at 1000ft. Happy to be back at base camp! It's all over and now it's time to learn how to fly! :D :shock:
