RE: my first solo
Mr Bass,
Congratulations on your solo. As an aside, something to think about for the future is a computer radio with electronic trims. One nice thing about them is that your trims can't be moved if the radio is off and when it is on, they genreally beep when shifted.
Nice job calling for help and saving the plane! Alot of people (like me) would have stuck it out all the way to concrete poisoning!
