With only about 15 minutes of stick time flying our Sig Kadet II and His Horizon Hobby/Hangar 9 Alpha Trainer, my son, Eric McMullan, soloed on December 19, 2004. This was only his fourth time at the sticks. I had him make s turns with the aircraft and then had him pull through a loop. Then I had him work on using the throttle on the aircraft and make low, slow passes. Finally, he brought the airplane in and made a perfect landing. Then he took the airplane off three times and landed three more times! I was totally excited. It usually takes several hours before anyone is ready to solo and he did it with about 15 minutes total flying time! Congratulations Eric!
