I envy you, everything is new and exciting. I remember way back in my flight training, when getting checked out in a bigger plane like a Skyhawk or Warrior was fun, challenging and exciting. Enjoy all your flight training, even though there will be ups and downs along the way. Learn the basics of stick and rudder well, and they'll keep you and your passengers safe.
Keep us posted along the way.

That's great! Let us know how it goes.

When the time comes, you'll love flying those classic taildraggers. You'll become a better pilot too.

I have flown a Gobosh once. It is kind of a cool looking plane. It has a stick and a bubble canopy.
Once caution point, it makes a great greenhouse and will really cook you on a sunny day, so wear sunscreen, a hat and of course protect your eyes with good sunglasses.

Make sure to slow down enough on short final for landing, no more than 1.3 VSO. Coming in too fast and floating a long way is a common problem, and it is easy to get it a little sideways on approach. Make sure to keep the nose pointing right down the centerline.
If stall speed Vso is 40k, then you might want a speed on short final of 52 knots.

Enjoy these days, they are some of the best you will have flying even if you go on to fast and hot planes.

Thanks for the encouragement! The flight could not have been better. Gorgeous day with light winds. Flying out of Centennial, Colorado from KAPA. Snow on the mountains and smooth air. Learning to drive with your feet on taxi with the free catering nose wheel takes some getting used to. At least I had some experience with differential braking for the Oliver tractors on my grandfather's farm years ago. Got to do the take-off (what a rush!), fly out to the practice area and practice turns, ascents, and descents. Bill I can totally see how the globose loves to float down the runway on landing! Such an amazing feeling finally doing something you have dreamed for so many years! My instructor was great as well. Needless to say I am hooked! Hoping to get at least two more lessons in this coming week. thanks again for the kind words of encouragement.
