Default Got my wings last night!

I finally did it, thought it would be longer, but I soloed last night! I headed out there for just another night of training, and I did some touch and go's with another of the instructors. He told me after I was done and had landed that my next flight I was on my own. I immediately got the butterflys. My original instructor wanted me to do a deadstick first, but since I was the only one out there with a plane, they said "Alright, go do it." I had the butterflys all the way up until she got in the air, then I was as comfertable as I am driving my nitro cars. I did 5 touch and go's with one prop strike that almost killed the motor but didn't and 2 of them that my instructor couldn't believe how smooth they were. One of them was the prettiest 3 point landing you'll ever see and even I couldn't believe it. Yes, the smile was all over my face[sm=teeth_smile.gif]. Today its like this[sm=shades_smile.gif]. Now comes the fun part when I can go fly whenever I want, all I need now is my own battery checker. Thanks for all the advice and help from everyone that has replied to my posts.
