Great day,good vis most of the morning and later this afternooon.
Spent 55 mins solo this morning doing clean and flapped stalls,30 and 45 deg banked 360 deg turns at 4000 ft,some standard touch and go's,and glide touch and go's.
Bit of a crosswind but all went well apart from first glide touch and go was a bit tight,so next one thought I'll leave it a bit later before descent and was too high,another couple were OK so I left it there.
Was going to do some more this afternoon but was told by CFI not to waste money,anyway weather looks good so I'm going to do some more stuff tomorrow just to make sure I'm happy and then it's the skills test next weekend.
Out of interest I counted my total hours today and it's 51 hrs including 2 half hour trial lessons,I think it took me around 18 hrs to go solo,so it just goes to prove that how long it takes to solo does not reflect at all on the length of the course.
