RE: First solo flight
Congrats Fizz,
It was this time last year I soloed with my instructor. They are right you need to have that picture of that day. My solo was with his Goldberg Eaglet. My instructor took a pic of me and I thought yea well ok. But I check it out now and then as a reminder of as you said the skill and attention needed to fly. I would never have been able to do it without help. My instructor laughed at me last week I had the shakes when flying my winter build. He is training his 10yr son but the poor boy has let his attention wander twice and the Eaglet has needed to be rekit . Got to fly the Eaglet on Tueday night for some cross-wind landings it really built my confidence again.
Good Job.
