I passed my check ride last night, so it is official I am now a paper carrying(as we know the card takes a while) Sport Pilot. I made a couple minor mistakes, but all went well.
Including check ride I am at 35.8 hours and 88 landings. Not bad for really only flying once a week on Saturdays.
Now to go get my plane and start flying a lot more.

Congratulations! Now don't let that paper get too flat by sitting in your logbook. Get out there, log more time and wrinkle that paper up. You'll get a nice, crisp card in the mail in about 45 days that will replace it.

Re: New Sport Pilot
The oral I did very well on, had to look up one question... What instruments are required in the aircraft.
Flying, turns around a point I couldn't tell the downwind for the point because I didn't look at the smoke 4 mile away to see which way it was blowing.
My first landing I didn't stay on the centerline very well due to the crosswind. (I was paying more attention to the fact that both G3's in the skycatcher went red X so I was nervous and wasn't paying attention.

Re: New Sport Pilot
No they were intermittent most of the flight, then turning on to the 45 for downwind, they went X, it was just one more thing to add a wee pressure. I did okay considering. Once I landed, I reset the avionics switch and they both started working again. So I made 3 more landings and all was good.
