Hey Bundy

I think it will take me years to learn what Fanie knows, he is very patient with me and also gives me a lot of room to test myself.

I just feel that now i am getting somewhere and all that I want to do now is just to fly.

Cheers (^^)

What a great morning, did my landings with Mervin and did it on my own puff , now I can say I did my landings on my own - very proud of myself, and off course with the great experienced Mervin at my back. (^^)

Now I am getting somewhere (**)
