Yeah.. it's a great feeling to get that thing to take off, fly around, then land it. Especially on the first day out. That's awsome.

One thing I would do before asking to solo, though, is to try to get a few more flights in while doing several landings, as well as, and I feel this is very important, some emergency procedures. Have him do some practice dead-stick landings with you. Not necessarily to the ground, but to final and add throttle and go around and do it again, but from a different location... upwind, downwind, and from mid field, dead stick on take off, and during approach to landing. This is all important because you want to know what to expect when it happens to you (and I guarantee that it will).

Great job!!
