Flew my first Solo today
« Reply #15 on: March 10, 2004, 11:49:23 AM »
Thanks again for the best wishes. Today I flew a few more circuits and now all I want to do it fly. Hard to concentrate at the office.

Flying online is the greatest training for real life lessons. The weather has been really bad and I took 6 months to get 20 hours in. The rule of thumb is that if you do not get 2 lessons a week you regress and  it takes many more hours to get your license.

With the online flying I have done I never felt out of place picking up where the last lessson left off. I still have at least 30 more hours to go to get all my requirements in but now the flying is becoming more fun and less work.

Just wait til you get to your cross country flights. Then it's really fun. Keep us posted on your progress.

Congrats!  Hurry up and get your PPL so you can go back to flying your ultralight.... you will know what I'm talking about as soon as you have gained 20lbs. flying to resturants.  Take aerobatics, keeps flying fun. :aok
