Default Finaly soloed!!!!!

It is a rainy day but I went to the feild this morning and we could not get the buddy box unlocked. So I flew with out the buddy box 1st thing. I was nervious but flew around for about 4 minutes it started to rain a little....so I landed it...perfectly.

Then one of the Instructors who is qualified to test students showed up and I grabed him. He had Bill (my buddy) put my on the buddy cord while Steve (the testor) watched. Did the manuvers he requested. Then landed with a very smooth touch down...all good. There was real little wind to deal with. Then he told me to land from the other direction. I had landed from both ways before and had good landings. But for the last 3-4 weeks the wind has always been from the east and I had been comming in from the west heading into the wind. So I lined up from the east end of the feild but it was not as good I was determind to land the thing on the first try and it was not too pretty....I bounced a bit and hit the prop... but all was well. He soloed me anyway. LOL! SWEET!!!!! He asked my buddy Bill how I had been doing and Steve had flown me a few times before so they let me pass. Normaly I would have came around again and landed better but I was being tested.

But thats over now and I am officialy soloed. Then it started raining cats and dogs....and still is. I am now soloed and cant fly today. Bummer!!!!!!!!!
