Solo time
I soloed an F28A Enstrom in just over 8 hours. A buddy of mine did his in 5 hours in a hughes 269. Both of us were already fixed wing pilots, so we already had knowledge of radio, traffic patterns, etc. Another buddy soloed the F28A in 18 hours from scratch, I thought that was pretty good. It took me a lot longer (23 hours) for my real first solo, in a fixed wing PA-12. Partly due to it being a taildragger, partly I was in no real hurry, but the tailwheel skills I learned made my feet a lot smarter. Made antitourqe control a pretty easy transition.
