My first solo was in a 172, but I watch the video all the time. There is a lot of work left, but when you finish your check ride and get your ticket, it is all worth the wait and frustration. Your first cross country is another awesome moment. Fly safe, Larry Husky Madras, Oregon In a message dated 8/24/2009 10:27:51 A.M.

Not only did you fly your plane, but you have officially become a test pilot. Not very many people get to do that before they get their pilot's license. Even fewer before they get their driver's license . . . Keep up the good work.

I don't know how many times I've wanted to be allowed to go in the back with measuring tape or dial caliper and be allowed to roam. Dan [quote="paulrod36(at)msn.com"] After driving my local NAPA guy nuts trying to find the flywheel WW recommends (Pioneer Products, FRA 235), I found a source here in Kansas City, at a transmission shop. Price was $35.00. I didn't ask him to go back and look, but he thinks he has about 6 of them on hand. I grabbed one, and had it drilled to fit, at a cost of $20. Now, on to finding a Soob starter!

Oh well. Take yourself out to the airport and go around the pattern at least 5 times, just to convince yourself it wasn't a fluke, the very next chance you get. The usual first solo is 3 times around the pattern, just for that reason; you can mess up one and still come away feeling good. You've got 90 days. Make the most of them! -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC, PP-ASEL, CFI-SP http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (KFRM) (Yes, that's me!)

It is attached for your enjoyment Zenith, on their weight and balance form says the baggage area arm is 1050mm? and the weight is 40 lbs. Does this include the extended baggage area? My baggage area is separated by a cargo net. Do I measure to the center of each area? Just finished my oil access panel on the cowl completing construction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
