First solo cross country.
Landing at first stop and float down the runway despite 40 degrees flaps on c150 aerobat.
Go around back into pattern and notice downwind is taking forever so I leave pattern and re-enter for landing opposite direction.
After landing, I walk over to tetrahedron and it's stuck pointing the wrong direction. No unicom for advisory.
Vacuum failure on way back to SIU carbondale flight school.
Piper arrow........retract gear.....plane yaws and dips a wing.
Instantly put gear back down and flew back around for landing.
Something about worn bushings, and groove in a rod.
I now wait even longer when retracting gear.
