Linda, Congrats. And keep going. I bought an Ercoupe (Coupe 729), soloed and finished my Sport Pilot. Now my wife and I fly x-country every month. Sport Pilot worked for me, and I have the endorsements to do anything except fly at night and over the top VFR. I am in and out (I live in) Bravo airspace all the time. Good luck and like I said. Keep going.

Hi all, After surviving 30 hours of instruction (25 in my Ercoupe, Gilda) I finally soloed today. I did six good take-offs and landings at two local airports with one simulated power-out emergency landing to a stop, when my instructor asked if I was ready to try it myself!! Some signatures and a handshake later and I was on my own. I did three landings to a stop and went in to the FBO to the congratulations of all there and a new "I soloed" coffee mug. Gilda sure climbs better with just me onboard! I'll be the first Sport Pilot trained out of KEKA. Can't wait to fly some more on my own.

Rushmore is protected by normal flight rule to my knowledge, but I have not flown there since 9/11. So check your NOTAMS when you file your flight plan approaching Rapid City. Also check out the other massive carving on the same mountain of Crazy Horse. Another sight to see is a stone lookout tower on the summit of the mountain that has both carvings on it. there is no road to this lookout that was built there before the Civil War. It do get bumpy in that area from about noon on.

Hello All, Just letting everyone know that there is a great fly-in this weekend at Log Cabin Airport(WS69) near Mondovi, WI. It is located about 20 miles south of Eau Claire, Wi. I have flown in for the past 4 years and I have yet to see another coupe there. It would be nice to have some company. The airport is owned by a guy name of Doug Ward. His is a WW2 vet, flew in b-17s. Every year he wears his original fatigues and has lots of great stories if you can track him down. But this fly-in brings out a lot of people so he is usually always tied up. If you can make it to this fly-in you won't be disappointed. Be careful, Airnav.com states that the north-south runway (grass) is 2,500ft. It sure doesn't seem that long. I think they are measuring right up to the base of some tall trees at the north end. The runway also slopes down hill to the south. Landing to the north is no problem, but taking off that way is marginal. So I fly in as light as possible just in case the wind is favoring a north departure. The last four years the wind was out of the south so there were no problems. The only obstruction on the south end is a big cornfield. Hope to see some of you there! Log Cabin Fly-in (WS69) Sunday, 09-03-2006 9:30am to ??? Food @ 11:00am and on! Keepin' the dirty side down, Dan N93805 ---------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected], [email protected] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] stainless screws?
