I did a 3 loops last year. On my 2nd flight I did a loop but didn't land or takeoff on that flight. My first solo (with someone near) I didn't do much. My first REAL solo (this year...yesterday) I took it up and wanted to bring it down IMMEDIATELY just so I could say I did..to myself mostly..and others. I was happy, but the tiny bit I flew is a fading memory. I didn't really fall asleep thinking of my flight. But I woke up wanting to go flying . Until this hurricane goes away and the weather clears up, I won't be doing much of anything.
My brother was doing touch and goes on a really small runway on his 3rd flight. But something tells me he flew many more times than he says he did before then.

Well, we shall see. I don't want things to get boring. I figure if they do, I'll buy a jet. MUAHHA


BTW I you are right I guess I should have confidence. I watch the same guys go out to the airfield every time I am there almost, even if I am just passing by with no plane which usually is what happens...they are there in the evening. With the trainer, using that buddy box thing. I never did that, but the second these guys get the planes in their hands they have problems if for more than 10 seconds. The one guy was so proud of himself, after 40+ flights he finally landed one. I didn't have the heart to say 'yea well...' hehe
Honestly I wish I did know about the buddy box thing earlier. I would have solicited that opportunity to learn even faster. However not having an instructor is kinda nice, because YOU decide when you want to fly alone. Our airfield instructor is kinda unofficial and cool. He believes that I should do it all so, I guess I shall
