Congratulations :thumleft:

Nice that you were able to consolidate so quickly after too.

First solo land away is something to look forward to now, which for me was one of the best times so far in my training. :)

Well done Floobie! :D
You'll be amazed how much fun it is to get out of flying rectangles for a bit. Next stop solo off circuit?

It's a good job they don't throw buckets of cold water over you like they do in San Diego...

I understand your reasons Floobie for taking a break, but really, if the weather is good, my advice (as a fellow stude) would be, if the bank can stand it, g flying whenever you can and retain that momentum and confidence, because when yo go back to it in February, you are bound to have skills fade and it may take a while to get your Solo skill back?

Just a thought...... from one whose "been there".....

Have to agree with Iolanthe, especially at the stage you are.

Mind you, the way the weather's going you won't have any choice in the matter :roll:
