RE: Solo'd on second day flying ! ! Do I get my wings?
cappio - Yea I do have to admit I had only one try but when a plane deadsticks it does fly a bit slower so its not as difficult if you line her up right but regardless I dont want it to happen ever again, and it was a good lesson to check my engine a little better before I fly.
Aimmaintenance - What happened with that friend that caused him to crash on his solo? What was different between the last buddy flight and his solo? Haha your last piece of advice was the most important thing my fellow club members made sure I understood before I left, they said too many ppl in our club grew to comfortable with their planes and now their planes are broken or no longer existant. I really can understand getting to used to something or too comfortable will be disterous so I will be even more careful now.
Geistware - Due to the real flight program that come with this plane which I had been practicing on for 2 weeks prior to my first flight I think I had the basics down and just needed to work on them with the unpredicatability of the wind in "real life", but I tried some rolls and landing into a cross wind with just a little bit of problems like speed but she landed pretty good. I think my success is due to the realflight program that I have been practicing on. But my success will only continue if I dont let stuff get to my head which I beleive I already am letting happen, but I am workin on that for real !
DBcherry - I admit I am getting a bit cocky, I guess that will change once I crash which everyone is saying is inevitable. I realize that altought I am progressing quickly that its not always better, I am taking too much in all at once and I need to slow down....which, honestly, I am working on....
Minnflyer - How do I earn my wings? Regardless, thanks for the encouragement and nothing was more exciting than that soloing, wow the rush was incredable....does it stay for a while?? Once again thanks for the encouragement
