Congratulations Takingflight96,
Your first Solo you will never forget, and what makes it even more special is your Dad was standing there with you when you did it, That is something you both will charish the rest of your lives.
I am going to try and get my 10 y.o. Daughter to solo, but not until next summer. Shes been going to the flying field with me since she was three y.o.
I am an Itermediate pilot and working on my Unlimited status, and plan to have Dave Scott at 1st RC Flight School in Shawano Wi help get my daughter started, I just dont want her to learn to many bad habbits. Of course I will be right by her side when she solo's.
I've known Dave Scott since 1985 when I first solo'd, Dave Scott is a true friend and great instructor.
I'm not putting down that your dad helped you, that is one of the best thing a father can do for there sibling interested in RC, and builds a bond and closeness that will last a life time. Anyway, again Congratualtions and hope you have a great time and advance promptly in this great hobby.
