Default Great SOLO

This past sunday I did my first true solo with a pretty landing!!!!!!!!!!![sm=tongue_smile.gif] This done with only a right aileron...the clasp on the left control arm came loose on the nexstar so left manuevering was trickier. I was more excited that it was a good landing with this problem!!!I was stoked does it no justice!

Now all we got to do is figure out how to get that silly little smile off of your face!!!!

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

Well, in all fairness he didn't ASK for another certificate. It was YOUR idea AL.

Yes it was and it will be every time I see some guy on here swelling at the chest because he solo'd. And if that causes a few disruptions then so be it but I'd rather see two given away 100 times then see one not given at all! Anybody got a problem with that????[sm=punching.gif][sm=punching.gif][sm=punching.gif][sm=punching.gif][sm=punching.gif][sm=punching.gif]
