Default CONGRADEULATIONS ON 1ST SOLO

Hello vacine,
Congradeulation,sound like you solo'ed twice 1) in Calm wind conditions, and cross wind conditions.Welcome to the world of cross controling Yes I had the shakes too. Oh but what a rush.I guess if Im flying in a cross wind I always make shure the wind is at my back if feesable. When taking off give it right rudder until the plane clears the ground and release rudder input.Then give the plane a bump or two of ailerone when the wind blows the plane away from you.Remember its like sterring a bike "Right bump to correct and left bump to level wings."
