Today, I made a flight from Alvin TX to LaPorte TX (T41, only about 25 miles) to get signed off to fly solo in my Firestar II. I made it over, got my endorsement, and flew back to my home airport (6R5). The instructor at LapPorte had given me my tailwheel endorsement there earlier this month in a Legend Cub. I still have to complete one more X-wind landing lesson at my other flight school and then complete my checkride before I get my Sport Pilot license, but at least now I can fly legally out of my airport. I feel much better about things being legal, even though I have about 20+ hours in my plane. I honestly felt like a kid who just got his driver's license...no big deal to most others, but very exciting to me! This has been maybe the most inspiring year of my life, flying my Kolb is great fun! Thanks to all who have helped me out along the way.

Hi Jimmy congrats on your accomplishments I know how you feel, while its been almost 40 years since my PP check ride I still remember the thrill of it and all the additional rates added later on. keep on flying and having fun.

Jimmy,
Congrats! Glad to hear it. It's no small event in terms of time, effort, cost, and especially the opportunities it will provide. I think any amount time you fly with a good instructor is a good investment.
