I would like to thank everyone how has helped me this last few weeks in trying to get my plane sorted. This weekend just gone I was able to take my plane down to my club get it inspected and took the controls for four fifteen minuets sessions via the buddy box My left turn circuits apparently are great level and smooth my right circuits however need to be a little more progressive I tend to bank quite hard and lose altitude, we had a few bumps as the instructor crashed a few times trying to trim the plane out (my throws where WAY to sensitive) but with a little tweaking on the flight line all was well and it took to the skies. It was a great end to a perfect weekend when I was told "not bad for your fourth go"

Left the field yesterday like a kid at Christmas once again thanks for all you help.

Did I see somewhere on this forum someone giving out certificates for your first official stick time??? is so I would really love one for "John Hagen".

It's official I now am one of you hook line and sinker.

Sherpa A.K.A Jon Hagen

That's great Jon! Nothing quite like those first couple turns on the sticks, seeing your plane doing what you ask.

MinnFlyer gives out certificates, but they're for guys who've soloed, so you have a way to go yet.
Dennis-

That's true Jon, While I'm tempted to create an "ATTABOY" for you just due to your enthusiasm, if I did that, I'd be up to my ears doing them for eveyone

But keep up the good work, and let us know when you've soloed. That's whan you get your certificate.

Good Luck!

Congrats on your flights! It is a great feeling. I am on my 8th flight with the buddy box. Like you I cant wait to SOLO.
