IM A PILOT!! YEE HA!! I did 3 solo's, with loops, rolls, figure 8's, stalls, and landings hehe my instructor said that i could have soloed on my first flight, cuz i had control from when we set it on the ground after we started it, and i had it till we shut it off. never let go of switch,

IM A PILOT!!

YEE HA!!

great job. its a good feeling. good luck on consecutive flights. btw, what are you flying?

Congradulations.
It sounds like your instructor/club have it all together.
I think all clubs should insist that students must do all the things you mentioned before solo flight is allowed.

Yay!

where do i get one of those "SOLOING" certificates? guy in the flying club wants one for me

your first solo is the BEST feeling youll ever have in this hobby.. well besides you first long rang perfect dead stick!

Congratulations on the solo,i'm glad you had better weather than i did.

i did have to deadstick the second flight's landing, cuz we I was goin around and then went full throttle, and it got low, so then i came in on my approach (not realizing it was still at full throttle, cuz it sounded low) and then i pulled down the throttle, and it got hight, so i brought it all the way down and the trim too, so it shut off, and i did deadstick it for the length of the runway

turns out, it was over heating, running at about 270 to 300, so we richened, and i started to roll and so loops

What are you flying?

PT-40 with a 46LA, next plane that im gonna fly (next weekend) is a CG Extreme 3D 330 Profile with a 50SX and Flaperons??? i think is what you call em

can't wait till i do more flying tmorrow, i don't have to wait for instructor to get there to fly hehe

and it is a great feeling, i feel like im standing there and what i wanted to do for like 8 years is finally happening

Congrats! Good luck with the Extreme 330 with Flaperons...

Just take it slow and don't get too overconfident-

james

RE-Kit time. HEHE

[8D] CONGRADULATIONS Mudsurfer what a rush A ... its almost like the first time you got a .....you no,dont forget MELISSA HAHA....

Congrats...... you seem too confident though, slow down. You should stay with your trainer for a few months and not jump to a 3D Profile plane as yet. It's a whole lot different than your trainer. There is nothing more mind breaking than crashing your plane after you get your wings and soloing.
Like I said....congrats and slow down. Stick with our trainer. Now show us a pic of Melissa

SO let us know how it went with your 3D plane!

here's melissa, but remember, im a kid, so hads off, she's mine

Hey mud well done but it may be wise to have your instructor with you when you have your first flight or two with Extreme!!

that is the plan


i crashed the PT-40 today, not too bad, it buried itself about 6 inches in the ground (it was soft ground, but not mud)

just have to do some patching on the wing

Kewl.........Melissa's cute. She is a keeper.

Now just be careful when flying. Remember, Safety for yourself and other flyers should be No. 1
on your list of priorities for now.

Well congrats once again and happy flying.

Its a good feeling?

I CRASHED!! STILL A YEE HA!! It was actually fun, knowing that no real money was in the plane, and it is pretty MINOR damage, the covering got torn on the wing, and the nose was buried 6 inches in the ground. the torque rod for the right aileron got ripped out, and so did the aileron. and i broke a prop and a little piece that goes infront of the wing, where it meets the fuselage. it wasn't that bad. i wasn't unhappy or anything. it was a 6 second flight.

CAUSE: We had some stick on wieghts around the fuel tank and one came off and fell back into the tail, making it about a good half pound tail heavy. it did a loop and came out and kept going down, and this all happened in 6 seconds, so it happend fast, and happened about half way around the field. i have a pic of the PLACE. but it is from last month, so plane aint' in it, neither is wind sock. i still had fun today, we stayed for 3 hours and watched some of my new pilot buddies fly.


ill keep you posted in progress of my journey in the hobbie

Sorry about the crash, but you sure have the right attitude about it. And you'll get some crash repair experience.

Welcome to the club.
Dennis-

Scott

Congratulations! Its a great feeling Sorry about the crash, but it does happen. Unfortunately over the weekend I nosedived my Donald 4 Seaplane into the ice (frozen lake). I lost my rudder & lost control Of course it didn't crash in the 4 feet of snow on the banks, had to be right in the middle of the lake where there was just solid ice, no snow.
Anyway, keep up the great work. Be safe & enjoy
