Great flight and such a wonderful feeling but scarry all at once. Some constructive feedback which saved my life when i needed it. Im assuming this was your first flight and you flew "the pattern" only, i know there was some editing so i appoligise if it was not only in the "pattern". Anyways, you want to fly the pattern as though your having an engine go out. This will tighten your pattern up and oneday if you do lose an engine, youll be able to float to a landing. In the video, when you turned to left downwind, it seemed as though it took a while for the runway to appear off your left wing!!! In the case of an engine out, you would have not made it! Again only coming from learned experiance and this same advice saved my buddy his life when he lost power on the turn from upwind to downwind. I hope you can discuss this w your instructor and he or she can fine tune this for you! From one pilot to another, god speed and i hope you enjoy what excitment flying can bring!
