RE: First solo today!!!
Way to go man. I remember that day for me. I too was behind a 60 H.P Franklin as was Robinaire. Mine was hanging on a Bellanca Champ though. I lost my shirt tail, my instructor did not care about the shirt, said it had to go. Happy for you, you have now been bitten by the bug that will never let go. I soloed the Champ 17 years ago at the age of 13 and I am just as thrilled everytime I sit in it now as I was then. Now the learning begins. Good Luck.
