Default RE: Solo'd first day at the field !

Congrats

I soloed for the first time about a month ago with only 2 sessions.....would have probably been able to the first day also but my flying time was a bit short. I also did much the same as you. I prepared for sucess by doing a lot of research and speending quite a bit of time on the sim before ever flying my plane for real. I agree, the simm time helped a ton. So far in this pas month or so I have put about 4 gallons of fuel through my plane without incedent . If your like me, you will be moving on to your second plane in no time. Currently I am building a 4 Star 120 from a kit which is about 50% done and will fly the trainer when I feel a bit lazy . Just remember one thing.....It's OK to start flying a bit more aggressively and try new things....But ALTITUDE IS YOUR FRIEND. I hope you have as much fun as I am .


Good luck,


Adam
