Default First Solo Flight!

first solo was TODAY

brought my hanger 9 cub out to the field and my instructor asked if I wanted to try and takeoff myself.. said sure..

after flying it around he asked if I wanted to land myself .. i said..."well let me try a few low/slow passes"

did one pass and it felt so good that the next one by i set it down what a feeling

the next 2 landings were not as good (to fast and put the cub end over)(just like my avatar but that one my instructor did ) but no damage

I just have to get used to slowing it down more during final .... hopefully I can get my "pilot" rating in the next week or two

again... thanks to all those that take time to help out newbies and get us off the ground.... when i get good enough I will help teach the new guys.... i believe in giving back what was given to me
