Jim, I soloed in a Grob-103 and then a 1-26 was my first single seater.
I'll always remember my instructors last words of advice before my first
flight: "In the pattern, if it looks good: YOU ARE TOO LOW"

Other than that, it pretty much flew like a glider.

Hey all,

Just got my rating last month. Next time I'm at the field I think
I'll be getting into a 1-26 for the first time.

I'm nervous about flying a new ship. Is it like driving someone
else's car for the first time?

Any stories (serious and/or anectodal) on transitioning to a one
seater appreciated :-)

Jim
