Default First Solo Flight

I just wanted to let everyone know I had my first Solo Flight on October 21, 2006. I used an Hobbico Avistar 40.

CONGRATS!!!

Now I get to say THIS:

Welcome to the END......of 'Free-Time' and 'Disposable-Income' as you once knew them.

You are now addicted. Just smile and give all of your money to the man behind the counter. Start looking for a second job now, but NOT at a HOBBY SHOP.

ENJOY!!

why not at a hobby shop? you could stack shelves in the store room and get a discount or something...

anyway, keep smiling and be sure to take plenty of photos of you and your new friend

WAY TO GO!
WELL DONE!

I would like to just add to this. mockalis86 was my first student flyer. While we both still have things to learn of which we have discussed many of them, such as different wind conditions and gaining comfort in performing different manouvers, he successfully got his plane into the air performed basic aerobatics and brought it safely back to the ground. While I will still be working with him there is no longer a need for that buddy cable between transmitters. For any other prospective new flyers out there The computer simulators make a huge difference.
