I've dabbled with RC since 2004, but haven't really taken off with it before. Mainly because of the cost involved and being scared of crashing. But, I've been pushing it more lately to get confidence up, etc. I've soloed before, several times, but today was the first time I've flown RC completely on my own. Went out to a friend's field (has 10 acres) by myself, setup the plane, and flew out 3 batteries. Probably flew 30-40 minutes in total. I'm pretty much all electric these days and it was VERY enjoyable to sit out there in the quiet solitude and hear the airplane whish by, etc. Flew 5 or 6 separate flights, the landings were pretty good with the last being the best. Airplane (Sig EP-42) looks like it did before I started, which is always a good thing. A fun way to spend an hour. Plus, flying by yourself is pretty efficient - out with the spent battery, in with the new, and up again.

Was fun - just me and the plane.
