Hey guys!
Got the ATF and registration all sorted, conversion papers in my licence, and finally yesterday got to solo in my own trike. This was also my first solo of any kind in almost a year!! Moving down to Nelspruit kept me on the ground for around 9 months before I could start organizing my own trike and place to fly from. So now I hangar with Brian at Pyramid near Barberton. Here is a pic of that greatest feeling ever!!

Thanks Bundy! Weather quite overcast here in the slowveld today, but calm. Looks fantastic for some circuits, will maybe go and nurture here around the field a little just now!
