Default succesfull first flights

well people i flew with a instucter today and it was great.i did loops and did circles.i even took off 2 times on my own.well 1 gallon of fuel later he was ready to go.so i cleaned my alpha 60 trainer and packed up and we left.by the way he used a buddy cord but really didnt need it due to my countless hrs on sims.he never let me land and that kinda bothered me.he said right before he left to never fly alone i said ok.well we left but i had to come back and land that bird and so i did but before i land i noticed the eng was stuck on 3 quarter throttle.i was getting nerves then so i tryed to use the trim on the throtle but no luck.the so there was only one way to land this bird and u got it my first dead stick and my first landing all in once.i started to shake uncontrolable.landing on a concrete runway was out of the question.well 20 mins later after a perfect solo flight she died on me.so i just laid her down gently on a bush.i mean it was like a hellicopter landing it went so smoth.no damage at all.if anyone no which needle i need to adjust please let me no to idle her down.she was rolling on ground with throttle all the way back and trim all the way back.gonna go buy a mina video cam in morning.ill have some videos for u guys soon from the airplanes point of veiw.any suggestins on which mini video cam to get.money is not a option here.
i would love to hear about everybodys first flight succes storys. ty
