This weekend I had my first solo flight on the PTS trainer! I'm really psyched I just need 2 more solos unitl I'm official It was really cold out and I think I was a little nervous which made my hands even colder, but I'm really happy about having my first flight where I did everything! So I guess this is just one example of someone who's soloed on the new PTS trainer, I love this plane and I'm really glad that I'm going to be able to soup it up (much later on)... I'm going to leave it in the trainer configuration for awhile before I take the droops off. It took we awhile to get to this point because of school work and the weather not cooperating but I've been really happy with the PTS as a trainer. I think being a video gamer and spending hours and hours on AFPD really have helped and I can't wait to go forward in this hobby!
