Default RE: solo soon...?

Well good news and bad............Good news is I received my new radio and got to use it on a solo mission! Only thing is I didn't get to land[:@]As I was flying I noticed the plane kept climbing more and more with each pass, kept having to give it more down elevator to stay level.Tried easing back on the throttle but didn't help.I then asked my instructor to check it out for me and we added some trim and quickly ran out.As it turned out my elevator clevis came loose and I was heading for some big time trouble if I had tried to land.My instructor took the radio and brought her in. On the approach the plane was jumping up and down like it had a radio glitch! But with skill and precision (and alot of luck)he landed in one piece.

Maybe next time ! Ray
