Awesome job and congratulations !!!!! Stay calm and TW on!!! I did most of my primary at the Hemet-Ryan Aerobatic Flight Center in the “Worlds longest student pilot program”. Totally my fault, just having way too much fun fly Citabrias and Decathlons. I honestly had more upside down time than upright time when work transferred me to NorCal and I had to cross over to the dark side by finishing up in a trike. Bbboooooooooooo, I wanted to start and finish in a TW. My personal opinion is that having that skill set makes you a better stick n rudder pilot in all platforms.

Took the spinner to work and polished the knob. Lots of practice so it wasn’t that hard to do…. I figure that I should see at least a 5-6 knot gain due to the turbo laminar cordials airflow effect from the spinner facing the wrong way.[emoji12]
