Default Solo today

Woo hoo I soloed today. I made six landings with the first being a bit hard on the gear and the the rest good to execlent according to my instructor. Man this is fun stuff. I can't wait to get back and start working on my IMAC routine...... It was a really cool experince making my last flight with the sun setting on a perfect evening, real memory candy. Love this hobby.............

Brewboy,
Great job!!! Now all you have to do is wipe that silly little smile off of your face!!!! Aww, don't worry about it. I had the same silly smile for about 3 weeks after I soloed.

A solo flight is a great accomplishment and that wins you one genuine RCU ATTABOY (Suitable for framing, wrapping fish, or lining trashcans).

Holy mackeral! That's great!

About 10 more flights and you'll be in the intermediate range. About 35 more years and you'll be an expert!

Great job!! Congrats!! Great feeling, isn`t it?Well, you`re now entering a most dangerous time for you and your model. Just remember, ALTITUDE AND AIR SPEED ARE YOUR FRIENDS! For that IMAC routine, keep it high for a while.

You're doing Great!

The first time I soloed I brought my plane home in 2 paper bags! I wanted the neighbors to think I just came home from the grocery store!

Soon you will become addicted.

Run away now, before it's too late. It won't be long before $3000 for a RTF 35%'r sounds like a DARN GOOD DEAL!!

Get away while you still can.......don't look back!!

Congrats, Brewboy. You've got the whole summer ahead of you, now.
I didn't solo til September, last year. Only a few flights on my own, before the weather became a concern.
I'm, so, waiting for the weather to break.

Way to go,
E J
