Hi BM

Take it easy, my instructor kicked me ou of the nest on 5.5hrs and om 6hrs I regretted it big time and paid the price for it, today 15yr later with lot of hindsight I would have preferred the desructor in the rear seat for another 10hrs. Wish I had Boris as instructor, dont know him but I can see he know what training is about.

Enjoy every minute of it, you will reap the reward.

11:51 now, one more session of engine outs to do, then engine outs on takeoff, stalls, solo check then SOLOOOOOOOOOOO!! Woohoo!!

Looks like a front coming in though, never good for flying time...

Will be doing my next lessons on the Windlass 503, have been doing all training so far on the Aquilla 582. Looking forward to flying the "baby" :)

Hey Johan thanks man! Baie waar wat jy se van die engine outs, en ek geniet dit baie. Net nooit besef die aerie kom so vinnig grond toe sonder krag nie! :lol: Baie geluk met jou lisensie, ek sien jys nou klaar!! Ek vermoed ek sal teen einde September of so klaar wees, dan moet ons bietjie bymekaar kom vir 'n brekkie!
