Last night at 8:00pm EST, I just got certified to fly gas engined aircraft. I started on my electric Wing Dragon... then on my 15 1/2 year old Goldberg Eagle O.S. 40ts. I took off 4 times and landed three times with only one go around. Not to mention one touch and go...I came in too fast and was running out of runway. ( We had cross wind gusts up to 7 mph and the plug on my Master Box malfunctioned... loose wire somewhere, It doesn't matter I wont be needing it anymore anyway.) It's cool because I only flew my gas plane three times, thank heavens for flight simulators!

My instructor and the President are looking to see if there is any certificates left. If there isn't, do you guys know where I could order one so I could have the guys sign it?

Man it's a great feeling! I'm glad I joined a club.
