Congrats man. Feels great doesn't it' Have you ever notice that the experts who decree that the age of the pilot is over are people who have never flown anything? In spite of the intensity of their feelings that the pilot's day is over I know of no expert who has volunteered to be a passenger in a non-piloted aircraft..'

Awesome Mate,
Doesn't the aircraft perform!
Look forward to solo consol.
You might get bored, but it's good learning.
Cheers, congrates and happy flying!

Here is the video and a pic:
It was funny when I did my last check before I shutdown the engine with the mags" Left-Right-Off- Back to both" the key slipt out and fell on the ground
That's why the prop went all crazy and why I had to restart the engine as you will notice in the vid:
Sorry for the quality but enjoy: Shame the Q300 was in the way
Funny as, I just uploaded it and youtube identified it as being copyrighted just because I used a soundtrack with Jack Johnsons- Crying Shame music.
Stupid huh
Note: SON is one of the best planes at the moment, Brand new paint Job, New Engine. Still dosen't fly quite as nice as DAD,KID,MUM but was a good solo machine.

Congratulations, that's something you'll never forget! Oh, and as for the slipping ignition key during the dead cut check, don't worry, that's happened to most of us at some point.
