Well, with my first plane, a Dynaflite BobCat, I never soloed. I always gave it to the more experienced guys to put it up for me, then I would take from there. Until 7 months later I crashed. I then bought a trainer and soloed on the second flight. That was about 1 year and a half ago. I stopped for a flying just after 4 or 5 flights after the solo (why, I don't know), and now I am starting again. Last friday I had my first flight after more than a year without flying. I flew without an instructor. And I was pretty surprised with myself.... I landed flawlessly....And after that I made some more 10 flights, also flawlessly. WOW
