Happy Update

I decided to put this in a new thread, kind of like a new beginning.

I went flying yesterday.  Soloed for over an hour, doing mostly pattern work and some slow flight & stalls/recovery.  It got pretty windy (13G17kts) in the last 1/2 hour while the FAA FSDO guy was doing the 44709 check ride portion of my flying but it didn't phase me, I just knew what to do. :)

After the initial stress of throttling up that first time, I had a fun time and seemed like my skills were still intact.  I rented the plane I initially trained in and hired my instructor to check me out before the FAA arrived.  Within about 30 min of flying and landing/taking off, instructor was ready to send me up on my own.

What a great day!:)

Edit:  You guys and the pilots around me here at home really make a difference.  Aviators are a great group of humans.

Hi Rob. Good to hear you are back in the air. The Avid brother Tom and I collected from you is undergoing overhaul. We finished the wings through tape today. They will go on one of my present flyers. The fuselage will be a while yet, but appears to be a reasonably easy fix.  Thanks and good luck.

Onwards!   Good for you Rob:)  The words,  success; and prevailing despite life's challenges come immediately to mind.  Setbacks often have a way of making us better than we'd be otherwise it seems.  Thanks for sharing.

Awesome news!  Glad your back in the sky.  I too was a little nervous the first time I hit the starter after a good wreck, however, it did not take me long to remember why  I loved flying.
