Hallo!!On 23 november I did my first landings!First landings(7 off) power off was great!!I did 2 "GOOD" landings,the other 5 were a little bad The one landing I did it by myself with out help from Porra!My trike stalls at 38-42mph so landing speed is 48mph.With the bar in I did about 48-51mph.With one of the landings I baloon it(Bunny hopes) but Porra said I will pay double landings fees for it!! On this day I got a little cross wind!A great exercise!!Then on 30 november we went up again about 6h30.Wind was calm on the ground but in the air was a different story.Our flight took us Kliprivier airfield.I did a left and right turn and i got it perfect.I stop the trikes turn 15 deg before my point on the horison and i kept my altitude We did a touch and go at Klipriver.Then I experience a inner wing stall because my airspeed was low.I was busy to do the turn when a gust hit the wing.It hit me and my foot slipped off.Porra told me to add power and to pull the wing in to gain airspeed.A lesson well learned! We recoverd quickly out of it.We planned to fly on saterday morning but the wind blown to hard! So my next lesson will be in the new year!Our shop close on friday and then I will be on holiday for 3 weeks,lekkkker!! FLY SAFE!!FLYBOY OBD

What a lekker day for flying!! My first hour we did a medium and one steep turn,perfect!Then we did a touch and go at vereeniging airfield,one of my favourable airfields.Then we did a power off stall but my wing dip.Next time i will catch it! We landed and refuel!Then we did landings and circuits!At one stage I didn't keep to circuit high and was tolded by Porra to keep to circuit hight,he is very stricted about it! After the full stop we sit down and discuss the lesson and now I will never be lower than circuit high because it puts my live and other pilots lives in danger!Thanks,Porra for being a good instructor! I did 2 landings by myself ,it is a lekkker feeling. Flying time today was 1.8 and now I have 10.3 hours. FLY SAFE!!FLYBOY OBD
