Default RE: First Solo Flight

ORIGINAL: felixone
Of course as this was my only prop, as I haven’t received my most recent Tower order. It looked like my flying for the day was done, but thankfully another pilot showed up who happened to have a couple props in my size. After attaching the new prop, I had some fun when I spun it right off with starter. Making sure you prop nut is tight enough is a lesson everyone needs to learn.
I did this too. When I was flying with an instructor, he advised that the prop nut is one fastener on the plane that you should not be shy about torquing down. I think about that every time I swap the prop out.

Anyway, now that I am soloing, anyone know where I can get a good deal on a 40% Gasser.
That's the spirit! ...this 40% will just have to be a hangar queen for a bit.

Congrats on the solo! Quite a feeling to know you can go fly when you want!
