Default RE: SOLOED!!! OH YEA!!

Thanks Wings and congrats to you too. It's quite a different feeling. I don't feel as much pressure now. There were about 6 or 7 other flyers there and I thought "maybe I'll come back in the evening and fly again when there's less people there. I really had a funny feeling about taking it up again so I started loading my stuff into the truck to go home. When I took the wing off and disconnected the aileron servo I found that the little plastic latch that holds the linkage together had come off and the linkage was hanging loose so I had only one aileron hooked up. It looked like it would have crashed for sure. Oh that would have looked good. "Here's your solo card" and then smash!!
