Brady,
Got confused about your name by looking at a previous post.
Also wanted to say, landings are the best part of flying - the greatest challenge. After you "get it," landings are a lot of fun.

Chris, I've only been in two LSAs — the Remos and an Allegro. How did you like the Evektor Sportstar? Are you still flying it?

Hey Brady,
I have really enjoyed your blog.
What a great concept! The coolest part
is the inspiration you are pumping out to those who have yet to take the challenge. Although your not learning in a "Vintage" aircraft, I have already forgiven you for that!
CAVU my friend! - Geoff

Hi Brady
Your grandfather Art was a friend of many years. I hold a private pilot license but have been inactive for several years. I am enjoying your videos and look forward to the time you solo. That will be a great video!! Good luck and thanks for sharing all this with us.

Mr. Creed: thanks for your comment. It was Whopa's (Art's) stories of flying in WWII that birthed my desire to want to fly. I hope to be able to meet you one day. And yes, I'm looking forward to soloing as well when the time's right. Right now, it's still a nerve-racking thought.
Geoff: Thanks for checking in on me. I hope you'll give me some pointers and words of wisdom as I continue in my training.

Brady,
Fantastic idea! Just wish you would have started earlier. I just got private pilot certificate in May and could have used this kind of support during my training. I'm station at Yokota AB Japan and earned it here at our aero club in a C-172M. Keep up the good work! There's a lot of anxiety build up to solo time, then the instructor gets out, you look around the airplane and realize "I got this!"

Good job at Fond Du Lac. I almost blew a tire there on the other Remos. I meant to ask you the other day about what you are using to fly X-Plane sim? Is it a pc, apple or?
I've heard Linux supports X-Plane. Y/N? BTW the Eagle address is W635A 20th St.

Brady, somewhere in my pea sized brain is a memory of a contributor to to the blog who said he was learning in Arizona. I cannot locate his post so am using this method to contact him to determine where he is learning because I leave for AZ after soon and want to hook-up with a LS CFI out there. Do you have a link to him?
Thanks and keep on with the keepin' on.

Brady, you're doing great, keep it up! One thing that really helped me with radio communications was to use the PC software program Aviation Radio Communications Made Easy, VFR Edition, from Comm1. You're right, it CAN be intimidating. But the Comm1 exercises really helped.

Brady, Very cool being able to watch your progress through the videos. I'd like to see you make a technical section somewhere in your blog to describe the video gear you're using and how you patch the headset audio in, etc. Keep up the great job.

Wow, Brady. I have enjoyed following along with you as you earn your Sports Pilot Certificate. I am 47 years old and never really even considered getting a pilot's license. I thought it was too complicated and too expensive and didn't want to mess with the hassle of the medical certificate.
Then I found out about the rule change and the Sports Pilot Certificate and began to think maybe I could do this. Then I ran across your journal and the step bu step process that you layed out for everyone to follow along with. You have inspired me to pursue my dream and go for the Sport Pilot Certificate also. I have already found an airport that teaches the Sport Pilot Certificates and I hope to sign up before the end of the year and start my own journey.Thnaks for the inspiration Brady. Maybe I'll see you in the sky!
Mike

This is one of the best reference I could find. I just started my journey to become a Sport Pilot. I use CTLS, a very similar aircraft to your Remos. You comments and experiences shared with me are a great help of "breaking the ice" of flying. I am going through my 4th hour and every comment, hint, idea is very appreciated.
It would be nice to see everything from a different camera position (in addition to already installed) - a view from your seat and eye position showing how YOU see everything from pilot perspective. I have a quite good knowledge of aircrafts and flying but it feels all differently from a pilot's seat.
So, once again l thank you for a great reference material and all info you share with the rest of the World :)and please keep them coming !

Brady what you are doing is very encouraging for those who are apprehensive about taking that first flight. I got my license at age 60 in 2006 and a Piper Dakota 2 months later. I feel like 20 again.
You are doing great.
Regards Oliver

Hi Brady,
great idea a video blog and a very encouraging inspiration!
I live in Germany and are going for the PPL-A in a Cessna 172N since last year.
Kind of funny you are doing your lessons in a German build plane and me in an American build one.
I’m now a little ahead of your training and have done my first 2h navigation solo flight last Thursday. Like in the first solo it is very exciting and I was very busy but then again there are a view more moments then usual when you have time to sit back and really enjoy flying. In those moments all the hard work of learning and all of the investment pays off and make you look forward to all the exciting flights to come.
Keep up the good work and the fun!
Regards Guido

Hi Brady,
Brave move! Thanks for taking the risk and showing all of us how you are doing it. EAA rocks and so do you! One suggestion - get glasses with anti-reflection coating on them - it will help us connect with you better.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Don Hirst

Hi Brady. Congrats on your ticket. I'm a flight instructor and I'm interested in rigging my C172SP for video. I'm fooling around with a Oregon helmet cam but I'd like to buy a more robust system. can you help?

Congratulations. I just finished my solo about 2 weeks ago and am getting ready to do my cross country work next week. Your video helps me remember it can be done and serves as an inspiration. Not bad for a 61 year old guy learning to fly the Allegro 2007 LSA.

Congratulations Brady. I too got my pilots licence on the 16th August 2009 after 14 months of training for my JAR-PPL.
Great feeling isn't it. A ticket to learn I am treating it as and hope to improve and become better with every flight.
Thanks for sharing your training, something I wish I could have done online too.
Safe flying.
Liam :)
