Well, I finally made it. On Nov 7, 2009 at about 9am MST, I got the thumbs up from my instructor for a few laps around the pattern all by myself. The Diamond DA-40 is a great little airplane and a joy to fly. Still, I wish I were back in the T-34C that I started in. The first two, of three solo landings, weren't that great, but I greased the last just like I wanted to. Altitude control isn't exactly where I want it to be yet, but it is getting easier. Its amazing how far off you can get when you are concentrating on getting the 'Before Landing' checklist accomplished.
I just thought I'd share. Thanks go to all of you for the inspiration I've received to get my ratings and then join the ranks of the RV builder
