Default Instructor says getting close to solo....

yesterday, I took the afternoon off. It was a beautiful day and sunday it is supposed to rain. I didn't really need to leave work, but priorities took over.

I flew several times. while up, I decided to do some maneuvers (loops, loops out into inverted, dives and not so pretty rolls) and my instructor was happy to see me being aggressive and put the plane into some out of control maneuvers, then how I recovered. I felt really good about my flights, my knees weren't knocking as bad as in all my earlier flight.

I am building a spad right now and my instructor wanted me to feel how different it would feel than a trainer. we hooked the buddy box to his aerobatic plane (magic) and after he took it up, I flew it to see how much touchier it would feel than a trainer.

boy, this is so cool!
