Default Back in the saddle again....

I haven't posted in a while. Everything I had was being repaired. I had an accident with my Alpha 60 and then with my SPAD. Both are repaired now. I flew last weekend with my instructor. At the end of the day, He told me I didn't really need the buddy box anymore. Well, a week went by and I was excited about the prospect of flying again. Saturday came and I went to the flying field, but no one was there. I flew my electric plane for a while, but it was a bit windy for such a small plane. I sat down in a chair and was enjoying the beautiful day, hoping someone would show up, mainly my instructor, but I knew he didn't come on Saturdays much. After about an hour of sitting and thinking, I decided to get out the Alpha and put everything together. The more I sat there, the more I decided it would be OK if I went ahead and tried it by myself, My instructor told me I didn't need him or the box anymore.
Well long story short, "I did it" 20 take offs and landings with no crashes, not even a hard landing. I did touch and goes, for about an hour and a half. I did loops, rolls and snap rolls. It was a great day and really helped my confidence alot.

Ain't it cool.............
