My first solo
Hi, yesterday and today I did my firts solo fligths. Yesterday I flew her three times and in the third landing had my first famous kangaroo landing and what a scare. I touch at almost half runway and she bounce a litlle high, I decide to go away and boom! my P-80 went flame out. I handle a flare and let her glide strait to the bushes. Only damage was the fuel tank support and easy to repair. Flame out was caused by the tank thatmove forward in the toch down and pintch a fuel line causing the engine to stop. Today after repairing the fuel tank bracket go to the field and did another happy flying. At least I learn my first lesson << In my field never try to go away when touch down in the second half of the runway >> Now my roo have complete 11 fligths and counting.
