I must admit, the convertion from MPL to LSA was'nt that easy for me. To get the feet, hands and brains working together, at my age, was difficult. Going to write my 2 exams tomorrow (Principles of Flight and Engines and Airframes). Did 18 hours in total so far (7 hours duel and 11hours solo). The flight to Grand Central(controlled airspace) was really something very special. My cross country flight and navigation was very easy because of my MPL experience.. so now;;;.... ONLY 4 HOURS TO GO then GOTCHA!!!!!

Cheers
