As Bob DeWenter announced last week, I finally soloed. Between Part 141 and theflying schools' restrictions it became difficult to find a good time for me tosolo. My solo was scheduled 7 times and cancelled due to strong winds (over 5 knot crosswind component) or a wind speed over 15 knots. It's been a windySpring around here! Fortunately I was able to continue to fly and accumulatehours with my instructor waiting for the solo. I continue to gain confidence and improvement with each of my flights. I am surelooking forward to moving on to some cross country navigation and flights.Landings have been the most difficult part of flying for me. I just can't seemto get the knack of it. I'll probably just get it in the 172 when I transferover to the Piper Cub for the rest of the training. Here is a good example ofone of my landings. Bob is narrating and taking the video. He gets a littleexcited and thinks it is my third landing......but it is only my second. Ihope he knows how much I appreciate having this on film. I had a gopro camerain my flight bag but forgot to take it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_qzyyNBu0EThe flying lessons have motivated me to work harder on my Piet build just likeattending fly-ins, Brodhead, and EAA meets.--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Jeff, I'll tell you the same thing I told Douwe and Gardner and Kevin andGary - building a Pietenpol is fun. Rebuilding one is just pure work. (Askme how I know). I really admire you for stepping up and accepting thechallenge to rebuild, rather than just sell the pile of scrap and move on,as some have done.Keep working at it and you'll have it flying again in no time, and it'll bebetter than ever.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----
