So I flew solo for the first time today. I am very excited. I did a couple of buddy box takeoffs, landings, and touch and go's today at the field with my instructor, and after the last landing that I did, he unhooked his cord and said, "Here ya go." I did one nice takeoff and landing, then on my second takeoff attempt, a big wind gust stalled the plane and it fell nose first in the ground. There is some minor repair work to be done, gluing some wood back on and repairing a little section of leading edge, but other than that, all is good.

So I had my first solo flight and my first crash all in the same day about 20 minutes apart. I am a little bummed about the crash, but I am excited to get the plane back in the hangar for repairs and then take it out again!
