  • That is just how the Allegro is built. Overall, few planes have better visibility.

  • GOOD JOB!!!!try get it on the center line ALWAYS, think PRECISION...and dont go so far out on your base leg...you lose an engine youd never make it in-if you ever get you glider ticket you will see my point...still flying???

  • I appreciate the feedback. I actually was pretty much on the center line but drifted off after landing because of a gust. There is an optical illusion because the camera was mounted right of center. I just got my private last week. And I was definitely make the field in that pattern in the Allegro because it has a glider wing(12:1 ratio power off...and I mean really power off, not simulated power off). Patterns are much tighter in the PA 28-161 because only 8:1 glide ratio in that.

  • The camera was mounted on a tripod which was tethered to the frame.

  • Brings back memories. Would love to go up flying with you sometime. I remember my solo flight about 30 years ago and my long cross country. I have some stories for you!!!

  • Thanks for sharing, well done Sir. But, for visability; who put all those cross braces in the way?!...

  • Alittle late but congrats!!! Hope to solo soon myself.

  • LEE County huh. I live in Port Charlotte. I soloed in a 182 in December, hate the amount of fuel it burns. Getting into the Remos G3 or Dova Skylark.

  • It's an Allegro 2000 light sport aircraft, the same one I trained and did my solo in on Dec. 6, 2006. Brings back some great memories.
