Don't worry John I'm sending the Gautengers some nice Wx, it normally reach them in two days after it leave us here on the farm. Had some excellent SOLO flights AND LANDINGSthis morning. :D So hang in there Wart. :wink:

In the mean while, lets "sommer" have one on the bad weather. (^^)

Now what?!

Postby Bacchus » Sun Jan 15, 2006 11:23 am

Hi guys.
Sitting on 15.7 hours.
Solo probably not too far away....I HOPE!
Next flight is going to be on my own trike and as I understand that puts you back once again. Is this true?
Also do you guys think it might be a good idea of booking another instructor just to get like a second opinion on my progress?

It might set you back if your trike is very different from the one you are used to training on. All planes fly slightly differently and its a question of how long it will take you to adjust to the differences. If its an Aquilla to an Aquilla you should adapt very quickly. You might even find that you are ahead a bit if your plane suits you better, who knows :?:

Good luck with your last hours and we look forward to your solo. -0<
