Good decisions mate, well done! I went up last week with a new instructor as well, he's really happy with my circuits and told me that if the cross wind wasn't so strong that I would've done my solo. It feels good to know that I'm at that stage right now.
I've had a situation like yours as well, did some flapless landings and before take off dropped the flaps to 10 degrees. When we reached 300ft I tried to put the flaps up but they failed. We completed a 70 knot circuit (slowest circuit I've ever done) kept my cool and landed with 10 degree of flap. It's really good when you know your training can just kick in in the event something goes wrong. Keeping your cool is something to be desired because I've heard of people flipping out when something goes wrong and that can only end in disaster!
Anyhow, it's back to the books for me to. Look forward to seeing your next video.

what's up with video banding during the audio?

The banding is caused by the radio transmitter. The RF energy is picked up by the camera electronics when in close proximity to the transmitter.

Dude if I had a buck for everytime my CFI gets on me about the right rudder I would not have a lot more $$$ to pay for my lessons. You are not alone. Love to blog!!!

While at the EAA airshow last year in Oshkosh, I purchased King Schools "King Checkride Course" Sport Pilot CD-ROM. There are six cd's in video form with John King acting as student from beginning to end. I think you will find this second to none. Good luck.

Brady:
Good job, keep up the great flying. You're instructor sounds pretty cool. How's the heater in the REMOS? it looks pretty cold in Wisconsin this time of the year. I checked out the REMOS web-site, it's an awesome company.

Tom: Thanks for your comment and question. The heater in the Remos is actually very effective. In fact, most days I have to turn it down because it gets too warm - even on Wisconsin winter days. The reason you see my breath in this video is because of the draft from the windshield, which obviously is not normally there. Do most LSAs have good cockpit heaters or is this unique to Remos?

You'll find fairly good cockpit heaters in most aircraft. The problem will be in keeping cool in the summer months. The Remos in particular has poor ventilation for the face and upper body and with all that glass to let the sun in, it can get pretty hot. In the southwest where we routinely get over 100, we take the doors off when it's hot and limit indicated airspeed to 100 mph, per Remos. The factory tells us the problem has been addressed in the newest GX they're coming out with and we're supposed to be getting a window vent modification for the G3's we have now.

just found this blog... I'm getting ready for my solo as well and this is fantastic! i'm having communication difficulties (KPAO- lots of traffic) so it was nice to hear some different takes. Thanx!
