1st Solo - Congrats Alex!

Congrats to you both! Which of you was more scared?

Honestly neither of us. He was prepared and is a very quick learner. His mother couldn't make it though. She got her PPC when she was 17, her dad a Naval Aviator.

My POH says 2 quarts minimum, but it sounds crazy to me, so like @BarryCooper i consider 5 minimum as well.
 
Mine says 2 quarts and an 8 quart fill. But it spits out anything over 5 1/2 so that's where I keep it.
