RE: Solo flight tips
A landing tip:
Many beginners tend to line up the final approach coming in toward them rather than straight at the runway. Stand in the position that you will be at when you are landing and note the approach that experienced pilots take. Pick out a landmark that their planes seem to come from. At our field it's a large tan colored industrial building. When I've coached beginners, it seemed to help them a lot if I told them bring it from the big building. Some say to stand square with the runway and bring it in over your shoulder.
Good luck, you'll do just fine.
