Guest steve-nz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hey there, had my first solo today, in ZK-LEI (my Jabiru UL 450) Loved it, did 3 great landings with senior instructor, then stopped, he jumped out and told me to go off for my first one - was a blast - loved every second of the flight. I fly in Rangiora, just north of Christchurch, NZ - wind was nill, so smooth up there it was really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steve-nz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, more solo hours doing circuits, then venturing out, doing re-joins etc - lots to learn :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thought Christchurch got a fair amount of wind. It's those strong winds that make the NZ people such skilled operators. Your best is yet to come... Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
