Guys,
Just have to boast. I took and passed my Sport Pilot Practical (flight test) today in an Aeronca Champ. At long last I am a Sport Pilot.
Although the Skies are clear, the air was rough and about 26Kts at altitude, I sure am glad the examiner to it into consideration, every time I looked at the winds aloft forecast it changed so my cross country was hard to figure but even that worked out OK.
So how is this Kolb related. Well my Ultrastar has been sitting in the hanger for three months while I flew the Champ to get ready for the SP test. I sure am looking forward to the next day it gets up to 50 degrees so I can get back to the low and slow relaxing flying that I love so much.
Of course if it stays cold I can get some air time in the champ.

Dan,
Way to go!! Glad you got that out of the way. Looking forward to flying with you again, maybe to Homer's again next year. Now get back to the a real ultralight, not the Champ.
I'll be contacting you later about another Lancaster/Lebanon County Ultralight breakfast after the New Year,
