Weeeeellll...
I had a great day of flying! Flew the pattern and figure 8s forever and taxied up and down the runway a gazillion times per my instructor. The trainer is an old Sig .40 and handled great but there was some at times gusty wind that made it interesting. No problems at all though.
The guys there are still pushing the UCD but after watching several of them fly and I think I will go with something a bit less touchy.
I flew my ABC and was setting it down on the numbers everytime.
As someone mentioned, I checked with some of the guys and have a few feelers out on several older used trainers. One in particular sounds like a great deal so we will see!
Nicely sunburned and more hooked than ever!
