Hey Bruce, If you read again, I wrote that she landed on her nose gear (wheel) and then rolled to a stop just off the road. Not a scratch, well, maybe the prop has a scratch because I am sure it hit about the same time the nose wheel did. Anyways, I don't wan't this to be my solo. I want my solo to be at the field with the guys watching and I do it right. I don't know why I took off but your probably right about the no self control. I have had my planes for over two months but due to conflicts in schedules I only have three flights so far. I may be getting a little anxious. Lesson learned and I got lucky but I also am a little happy how I handled the airplane. After all, this hobby is supposed to be fun right? I don't want to take everything to serious and can laugh at myself. My 2 year old laughs at me so I guess I can too.
