Default RE: New Tower Trainer

Well I finally soloed my Tower trainer. Everything went find for the first couple of flights until I had an engine problem. The engine was hard to start, but after 20 minutes of doing different things I got it started. It seem to run fine on the ground but after takeoff it just wasn't developing the power and since the plane is a little underpowered with the OS.40LA I had my hands full. Thank goodness I was able to get it on the ground without any harm. The guy that has been helping fly was able to help me out with the engine and got it running ok. He used a tach which seems to be the way to go when tuning. What is your opinion? All in all a good first solo[8D][8D]
