Misty morning, overcast. Waited till wind picked up and the guys did 2 flights each. One of my engines started to act up – blown out base cylinder head gasket because one of the head bolts loosened up.
All guys did their first solo today!
VIDEO – Danny after first solo
Danny 2 flights
Jason – 2 flight
It was just stunning day – perfect to fly…
Congrats to you all on first solo flight!
We more ground handling with motor on and also using power for mock up take offs. Its all going well,I think the guys will fly this pm.
Motor work completed, reverse handled most of the day. Last 1/2 hour was good for forward inflation practice. Guys are getting hang of it.
Ground school at Peaks completed. Student pilot permits issued.
Rob has finished his 30 flight requirement.
Congrats on getting the practical part of the course finished – well done Rob!
Rebecca managed 8 flights out of 11 inflation attempted this am. Great work. Then 7 more after lunch. Very well done.
Good conditions this am. Rebecca practiced taxiing at home and it showed. 4 very nice and controlled take offs out of 6 attempts. Those are good odds.
It may be too windy this pm but great forecast for tomorrow
