RE: Solo on your own?
I have one piece of advise: If you absolutely, positively want to fly by yourself, fine.
But, PLEASE take someone else with you, Just in case you need retreiving a lost plane, driving the car, or calling for help if there was to be a medical emergency.
If for nothing else, just to take photos and for moral support
Maybe as a witness?
In any event, good luck to you.
