trail flight

Thanks for all your advice.

I took the plunge and had my first trial flight on monday, and found the aircraft very nice to fly. I was expecting it to be slightly unstable, as the wings were quire alot shorter than the 50 odd ft i am used to, and im not sure that my instructor was too keen on my gliderpilot-esq desire to fly towards the bottoms of the biggest darkest cu thatwere around because the rate of climb looked like it ould be about 6 - 8 kts greater there.

Im now just waiting until payday to buy my first block of hours, so i can start my training properly

Hopefully ill see you all around some day.
