Default RE: What a Donkey

CGretired, I flew three different planes during the week. Mostly the Nexstar but I also did quite a few flights on the instructors Senior Kadet and some on my Twist 150. The Kadet was by far the easiest to fly and that is why I soloed on that one. It had a lot of power with the OS 91 on it and the control surfaces were bigger and so was the plane. Thanks for the congrats.

Jim and John, I just thought it was a "donkey" move because I didn't want to use the J word that means the same thing on this forum. I just thought the timing of it was ridiculous. Not to mention embarassing in front of my instructor. He though that I gave it to much rudder, which I probably did (after he pretty much told me hands off rudder on take off). He had just got done complimenting me on how confident he felt I was on my solo flight. BigTim and you guys have definately conviced me to try and repair it I'm going to see what I can do with it this afternoon. Thanks.
