Thanks for the good wishes and stuff. Means a lot to me !! Thanks.
Stik!! That's near enough where I was!! Andrau closed a while back, but Joy and her school are now at AXH, down in Arcola. Tom Stein is my instructor, but Joy was right there to watch me leap happily out of N86625 after my first .3 by myself. The other Citabria is 505N and I've already got as far as looping the decathalon, so it's in hand mate !!
