New Private Pilot
Well, after quite the roller coaster of training, watching a fatal plane crash and a multitude of delays I passed my checkride today! I'd like to thank the folks on this forum for encouraging and mentoring over the past year. Maybe one day I'll bump into you in the flesh! Now onto my next adventure, instrument training and saving for that Arion Lightning. Let me also say that I started out in light sport and that's where my roots are. Learning in the Tecnam really made flying a 172 a simple task...

Congratulations Ed!
Well done . . . and I commend you for hanging in there through it all.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Well done, sir.
Concur about the Tecnam vs the 172. I've been flying Tecnams (flew a Tecnam Eagle today, in fact) and I flew a friend's 172 a while ago. After the LS, that 172 felt like driving a truck.
Maybe not a good analogy - more like driving the family van after spending hours in a Miata.

Congratulations.
Oh, Arion Lightning ... was looking at that plane as well and beautiful plane it is indeed. Ultimately ,in my case settling for something much more docile ( for a low time dude like me ) and readily accessible maintenance friendly ( Rotax vs Jabiru ) was the right choice.

Good job! I have been seeing post both here and other places where people are completing their training, and passing checkrides. I had a student complete his sport pilot last month. I think it speaks well for the state of the aviation union.
