Penguina,. .. .Actually I think the change of instructor did me quite a lot of good. I did the best 6 landings I've done for a long time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .You've got a fair head start on doing the first solo landaway as you'll be working on your solo circuits before I get to even do my first solo.. .. .I'll probably lose the race, but ok. Let me know when you do your first solo land away <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
