I made my first solo flights yesterday with my Stick 40. I made three takeoffs and landings and spent a lot off time flying the pattern and doing figure eights. I then flew Suitcase's SPAD debonair. Its lands a little faster than my stick but it really grooves in the air. I want to thank my instructor Dave Robelen for all his help. He helped with the setup of the plane and with the flying. Now I plan to burn some fuel by getting a couple of flying sessions in each week instead of just on Sunday afternoon.
I am thinking about building a Venture 60 and a Ryan's Rebel over the winter.
