I might add I am doing this for fun so badge collecting isn't my priority.

Going Solo and being allowed to annoy buzzards away from the field without having to get briefed and signed out everytime. But even that isn't going to be a big race to get to.

I didn't find the landing to bad at all. I watched the first one then just made the picture look right for the second one and used the air brake as I would the throttle on a fixed wing (luckly it works in the same sense) . Waited until i was aware that the runway was coming towards me rounded out, then pulled the airbrake on and lifted the nose a bit and she sat down without any grief. My arse did feel very close to the ground though.

When can you take pax up with you?
