    will never forget my first solo at 16 in the UK. My first radio call at the runway hold point I completely melted in panic " tower standby" I believe was the only thing that I could say to compose myself...... took a few seconds, scanned the cockpit, took a good look around and wiggled the flight controls to..... reconnect with what was going on, contacted Tower again and advised to line up and wait, upon lining up I was given take off clearance for the pattern and a few moments later, I put in 50٪ power, released the brakes, and advanced the throttle to 100% gradually, giving adequate rudder input, and up I went.... thrilling and equally terrifying but so proud of myself....
    Well done young man, safe flying.

    You actually know me, and still do to this day. I have absolutely no interest in aviation whatsoever. But your accomplishments have inspired and motivated me through the lowest points in my life, and continue to do so. I aspire to become just as great in the field that I have passion for. I thank you, Adam, and others like you in my life,❤.

    I soloed in a Champ, did my primary training in a Piper Cherokee and Archer and eventually bought a Citabria. I am now shopping for an RV8.
    I love this kid, by the way. May he have a long flying career. Tailwinds, young man!

      In the U.S., the minimum age to fly SOLO is 16. The minimum for a private pilot license is 17, and 18 for commercial. Congrats on this young man of 14. Look up the girl of 13 who is working towards being a competitive aerobatic pilot.

    Hey Adam; FlightChops sent me! Steve and I have been friends for a while; I'm also a CAM member. I built my own RV-8; Steve covered the first flight on his channel with Dave Carrick as test pilot (That Did Not Go As Planned). Lots of RV-8 content on my channel. Glad you shared your first RV-8 solo flight here! Hope to meet you someday and we can compare notes on the RV-8.

    Congrats. I soloed a sailplane on my 14th birthday and a Citabria on my 16th birthday. Not to rain on your parade, but doesn't FAA require a pilot to be 16 years of age for everything except glider and balloon in the US? Is it the same in Canada? I hope the Canadians are more reasonable on their age requirements.

    Hey, I wanted to ask you what you thought of the RV8. The Blanca is a lot more expensive and not very fast. The RV is super fuel efficient. One of my favorite planes of all time is the Nemisis NXT.

    Congratulations and well done! I'm curious, is there a reason you three point the RV-8 as opposed to wheel landings? I was taught to always wheel land except for short field work. But I have no experience in high performance aerobatic airplanes.

    • @Turned_N_Banked
      @Turned_N_Banked  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I started my training on the Citabria which I always three pointed, so I decided to stick with three points in the transition to the RV8. I have been practicing lots of wheel landings since this video and the RV8 sure does wheel land nice!

      @Turned_N_Banked  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are absolutely correct in the United States 14 CFR 61.83(A) states that a student pilot must be 16 years old. But in Canada CAR (Canadian Aviation Regulation) 421.19(B) states that the pilot must be 14 years old.
