Day 19 Into the Sportstar

July 7th.

The Tecnam Sierra has been sold so it's into the Evektor Sportstar.

But the weather wasn't too kind to us last week, so both days that I had booked in for training were cancelled. This Tuesday (July 7th) I finally got to sit my backside in the sportstar. It has a variable pitch prop and a winding throttle that I'm having trouble getting used to but I'm getting there.

We did the usual conversion things like stalls, steep turns, etc etc. Its stalls impressed me, they were almost a non event with very little height loss.

Kev wants me to do some more time in the Sportstar before he will sign me off on it, but I don't mind because I also feel I need a bit more time in it.

It's a bummer I had that break from training of nearly three months, cos I feel like I need to do quite a few more hours to catch up to where I was before the break.

Total hours so far 25.7 (2.4 solo)
