Pipistrel Alpha Trainer | Flying Lesson #3 - Circuits & First Solo | Checkout Flight | ATC

[@BigglesAviator]

One smart instructor is Bruce. BTW...some nice landings there. The Pip is similar to the CT. Quickly airborne and if you hold it on the runway the tail lifts first and you have a wheelbarrow to play with. Good job. Ian

Saw a pistrel at the oaks on saturday. Just a stunning aircraft to look at

[@RomeoJulietWhiskey]

Ryan Bell it's was mostly likely this one... not too many around I reckon

[@peterdavila3045]

Yep. That's what I remember most when I soloed in a Diamond DA20 about 25 years ago. The much higher climb rate without the instructor.

You can always go around if it don't look like coming down, Don't wait until ur sideways maybe sliding upside down. Student pilots anthem.

[@BigglesAviator]

Ah ha the dreaded bounce...good job. When in doubt.."Go around" EVERY time.

[@RomeoJulietWhiskey]

Biggles Alganon That's what Bruce told me...bounce twice 'go around' no question

Great flying, i guess it takes a bit of getting used to the idiosyncrasies of this plane. Are you still flying this one or have you moved on to something else ?? Thanks

[@RomeoJulietWhiskey]

No longer flying this one unfortunately

[@alexibarra7785]

Where exactly do you position your go pro on the pipistrel?

[@scrappy673]

Is "RJW" your full name initials? Something seems fishy about that. Cause when I told Bruce I was watching your vids he was saying Ah, Good ol R****** (First name in case u keep it private idk)

[@RomeoJulietWhiskey]

Yeah that's right

[@scrappy673]

Romeo Juliet Whiskey Knew it, Also do you hang around the flight school every month or so to rent a plane or anything?

[@RomeoJulietWhiskey]

@@scrappy673 not lately...in the middle of a career change and studying full time so not much spare change at the moment
