After about a year of on and off flying, Sun_Kissed_Girl (my sister) has a solo flight in sight! We went to the flying field today, and she mastered everything and can proficiently fly the airplane throughout its entire flight envelope. The only thing left she has to work on is landing. She did an excellent setup last weekend, and all her instructor had to do was glide the plane down to the ground after she did downwind, base, and turned to final. Today, she did setup for landing again, another excellent one, but the last landing was a manditory landing because her instructor and herself were practicing aerobatics, and the plane ran out of fuel. Hopefully I can get her on here to post.

On an unrelated topic, I stole SKG's Hangar 9 Twist because she built it but can't fly it yet. I stole it around 6 months ago and told her I promised to give it back when she soloed (which I'll do of course). Well today while flying it, three of the four screws securing the rudder servo flew off, as well as the canopy. I did get the plane back down in one piece, thankfully, otherwise I might not have a plane to give back! [X(] I did put thin CA in all the servo holes to harden the wood, but I failed to put some medium CA on the screws themselves which probably caused them to back out. That, and I found out that I installed the wrong servo grommets.

EDIT: left a word out
