Default Soloed in only 3 sessions!

Well, yesterday January 29 2006 at 1:30 PM I soloed! After only about 10-15 flights with my instructor. My instructor couldn't believe it and neither could the guys at the field. All I had to do was three landings and takeoffs and three successful approaches downwind. The only hard part was getting it lined up with the middle of the runway,but I nailed that also.
I just want to thanks all the nice folks here that helped and always gave me advice.


YAH BABY!

That earns you an official RCU ATTABOY. Suitable for mixing epoxy on, lining your shop trash can and wrapping fish in ;-)

Congrats

Thanks a lot guys!

Bubba,

I was wondering if you could put my real name in there instead of my screen name so I can put this in my room.

I'd be really appreciated!

Congrats Sean!! Now the fun REALLY begins! You`ll soon find ( if you haven`t already ) that as much fun as the planes and the flying are, the REAL fun is the folks you get to know.

One other piece of advice. Do not get a part time job at the LHS and get a bigger limit on your card and just hand it to the owner of the LHS, your gonna need it. If you turn into like me, it's no longer a hobby, it's an addiction. The only real cure is to get more planes, replace most or all of the hangar every year....

Dang, if he follows my advice, he's gonna turn into someone like me,

I think I already am addicted as I can't stop thinking about airplanes. I even see my self flying in my dreams. Now that's an addiction!



Thanks

Nope, one would expect that if you were addicted.

Nope, you don't have a problem. Those who have to ask what you are doing with your thumbs are the ones that have a problem!!!
