Passed the checkride this morning! Did some steep turns, chandelles, lazy eights, slow flight, stalls, and 8s on pylons. The examiner was an old salt who flew B-17s. He critiqued on my abrupt control movements. He was truly an artist when it came to flying. I will have to work on being a smooth operator...I think nerves played a part on my abrupt movements. Total time now is 251.9. I look forward to being a CFI now. It's a great feeling! Time for a break then I hope to be back on the saddle.
