Awesome feeling. My second time going solo. Went solo first time while doing ppl at 43 air school but stopped at 27.6 hours, changed to mpl on trikes. 43 air schools tradition your feet don't touch the ground after first solo, allowed to remove your shoes and anything that can get damaged while on the wing of the aircraft and carried from there and dumped into the swimming pool. Bloody cold at 8am in the middle of winter. Thanks for the replies guys. ($$) ($$) ($$) vhpy

Eish Coastwise,

So sorry to read about your misshap.

I hope you will not let this put a damper onto your feelings for flying.

Get well soon and then get back in the saddle.

Kind regards,

Gunter Rostek.
