Well yesterday after work, i told the wife and kiddies I'm ging to go fly this this, the weather was perfect, little over 70 and little wind.

Packed up and off i went, unloaded, and had the only guy there to help me get it running smootly on the table and after was asked if i've ever flown befer and i replied, "NOPE, but mess araound on the sim A LOT" ! i was feeling pretty confident and took a deep breath and throttled up and up she went... Other than my knees knocking, i wasnt to sure if my eyes were bigger than my @^% eating grin, but i was flying so i couoldnt care. after a few laps I was informed where a good spot where everyone lines up with on the run way and throttled down and floated her in with a few bumps but pretty impressive i was told for a first landing with no help, or on a buddy box.

second time up went just as smooth, practicing touch and goes and fighting a little cross wind, but nothing major, they went fine until my final landing and "RUMP" prop hit the ground and set her down quick. other that that i felt great!!!

but I flew first time ever and was pleased!!!

after a few minutes one of the instuctors came and was told what i had done and was impressed and told me to come this weekend and he'd help me out even more!!! so im even more pumped about it!!! shld have waited for him in the first place, but we live and learn.

But just thought I'd share my Solo story!!!
