Wow! Great story!

I am a self-taught pilot from when I was about 13, 1983 I guess-- (My Dad was learning with me--) since then I have flown Patter, Pylon, big aerobatic, and ducted fan jets.... Just can't get enough!

While I now recommend for new folks to get an instructor and join the AMA, I am proud that my dad and I learned together, flew and crashed together!

The airplane you have pictured while probably a 3 channel is NOT the easiest airplane to solo- to bravo to you for that!

What airplane are you gonna get next? That is half the fun--- your hooked

Keep us posted!
