Thanks chaps – chose this type on the grounds of cost! Still you never know what might happen in the future!
Until then – watch out up there – my R/T is terrible and I don’t so much land as lurch in ground effect!

Congratulations young aviator. Dead envious of you, as twenty years ago i never got far enough to go solo before the money ran out 😀

Well done Ben
Well done Ben,
But I have to ask, why not learn on a real aeroplane?
I’m sue Matthew could find something a little older for you!

Cheers folks.
Sorry, no photo, but rest assured the grin is there.
Ken, hope you get going soon. Have been waiting for good weather to go solo for a couple of weeks now, every time I turn up for a leeson I seem to bring gails with me. I was surprised that I went solo today.
On departure from leicester the wind was really gusting and just after climbing to 2500 ft in the overhead a heavy shower passed through which we avoided by heading off to the south.
On return to Leicester, the shower had passed and the sky was blue and the wind had calmed. Taxying in, we pulled over to one side, my instructor got out and said off you go. 😮
Just did the one circuit as G-BKGW was booked out to someone else.
Hours logged – 8.45 dual and 10 mins solo. 😀

Neal, great news, well done.
