Default RE: I soloed

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the congrats, I am still smiling, I have started on the repair, I am going to keep it tricycle as my girlfriend has expressed an interest in using it to learn to fly her self, while at this repair I am doing another to the front which is older, from my second flight, the piece of wood on one side that makes up the nose was broken so I am replacing it, I found tonight that I cut the wood slightly wrong (doh!) but it will still work, for those who are interested I will be making a personal website, which will have details and pics of the repair once I have finished the repair, I will post the address later.

On flying the T34 you guys are correct it will be more of a handful and I do need to be careful, but I am sure I can handle the plane as I have already flown (landed and took off) the exact same plane with the same engine. I also will ask someone to help (needed for range checking anyway), who I could give the TX to in an emergancy if I can. I could not get out to fly it on Sunday, I would never have guess rain at the start of October in California.

Thanks

Happy flighing.

Also I asked alot of the guys and they all said I should manage it, including my instructor, who when I first talked about it, wanted me to do my first solo on it.
