When you do solo here are a few words of wisdom I hope might help you.

One thing that people don't realize is how much focus you need to fly. I don't necessarily mean actually seeing the plane although that too is a critical requirement I mean mentally being in the game 100 percent of the time while its in the air. It takes a concentration rarely needed in any other activity. Things like swatting a fly, fumbling your transmitter, even wiping the sweat out of your eyes. All can re-kit you plane in an instant.

After you fly awhile you will realize that there is a time for aerobatics and a time only for slow smooth laps around the field. Some times mental fatigue from a hard day at work, or stress at home cannot be overcome. You will have those times and you need to be aware that those times are when you are most likely to crash your plane from mental error. I fly my best early in the morning when I am fresh. Although most of my flying occurs in the evening I can tell very quickly when I take the Chaos up what kind of mental state I am in and adjust my flying style all the way from conservative to aggressive.

Two things you should never do when learning are flying overhead and watching someone else's plane flying near you. If you do either and your plane survives you will understand why. These are two things simulators don't really teach you.

Never take you eyes off of your plane. When you are in the air its just you, your transmitter and the plane. Any and all other distractions are potential re-kit solutions.

Also think about flying in high contrast. As an example flying a red plane with both the plane and the sun in your face is bad. Red becomes black in those conditions.
You can lose you orientation (whether its coming or going, or flyin right side up or inverted) in a split second. With dark colored planes fly with the sun to your back or fly another time of the day. Some fields are morning fields (field facing west) and some or evening fields (field facing east) take this into consideration.

And finally the more eyes that are on you plane the more pressure there is on you. Ideally when you first solo and the few flights after that if you can arrange a time of day when there is only you and your mentor, spotter, trainer with you. Later on you will (if you are like me) learn to enjoy spectators when you can ham it up a little, Just remember your limitations. I jumped in the deep end of the pool with my trainer, I soloed a Giant big stik with a dle30cc gasser on it. But I had over 300 hours of logged flight on my Realflight sim before I soloed,

After about 50 or so flights on the Stik and a equal number on the Killer Chaos I built last winter both are still with me and both are almost as pristine as the day they were new. Someday I will prang a plane in. I know that day is coming. It happens to everybody. Someone told me the life of a plane is inversely proportional to the amount of time spent building it. But with most of my stupid tricks absorbed on the sim (I hope) Im finding a balance in flying that is somehow allowing me to keep my planes in the air and on the ground when Iwant them to be there.
