-------------- Original message from Jeff Whaley <jwhaley@datacast.com= >: --------------

Yesterday after 3.5 hours of tail-dragger transition= training, I finally soloed in my 13B-powered homebuilt; I was a bit nervou= s taxiing back to the threshold but as =A0the wheels left the ground I knew= it was going to be okay.=A0 My first landing was a bouncer but I kept it s= traight - followed up with a few greasers and a couple more bouncers; it wa= s a great day.=A0 I was expecting a big increase in climb rate without 200 = lbs in the right seat but have to say it was not significant; I guess the p= ower loading and those big wings aren=92t affected as much as an under-powe= red short wing Piper.

With 11 trouble-free hours and now solo, I=92ll star= t building up more time after a 2 week hiatus in Mexico.
