Showtime, your first post in this thread was very honest and I commend you because you knew you risked getting flamed. I do congratulate you for a solo, even though it evidently wasn't the prettiest landing in the world. And obviously in that moment of letting your airplane take off you had the inner confidence you'd get it down. And it goes without saying you are an adult and assume the responsibility of your actions.

My current favorite aspect of RC is practicing landings. I was away from the hobby for ten years and in my case it's not true about once you learn how to ride a bicycle you never forget... Actually I always sucked at flying! But as I said my favorite times now are going to the field, by myself, and practicing landings.

Happy flying!
