how to solo in the Emil?

[Flyby]

I cant seem to figure out how to solo in the 109. When I first set the sim up, I chose a British pilot, and so the solo plane is a HUirricane. But I keep selecting a German pilot, and the 109 as the plane (first I see the Spit IIA, and click it to select a 109), then I click Save, but it always comes back to the Hurricane. I know I"m doing something wrong, and I've read the manual, but I can't seem to sort it out. Need an assist.
thank you,
