It is a rainy day but I went to the feild this morning and we could not get the buddy box unlocked. So I flew with out the buddy box 1st thing. I was nervious but flew around for about 4 minutes it started to rain a little....so I landed it...perfectly.

Then one of the Instructors who is qualified to test students showed up and I grabed him. He had Bill (my buddy) put my on the buddy cord while Steve (the testor) watched. Did the manuvers he requested. Then landed with a very smooth touch down...all good. There was real little wind to deal with. Then he told me to land from the other direction. I had landed from both ways before and had good landings. But for the last 3-4 weeks the wind has always been from the east and I had been comming in from the west heading into the wind. So I lined up from the east end of the feild but it was not as good I was determind to land the thing on the first try and it was not too pretty....I bounced a bit and hit the prop... but all was well. He soloed me anyway. LOL! SWEET!!!!! He asked my buddy Bill how I had been doing and Steve had flown me a few times before so they let me pass. Normaly I would have came around again and landed better but I was being tested.

But thats over now and I am officialy soloed. Then it started raining cats and dogs....and still is. I am now soloed and cant fly today. Bummer!!!!!!!!!

Great Job !

Now when you got to work on Monday you're going to have to explain why you have a silly little smile on 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).

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Now if it would stop raining here I could go fly! [>:]

CONGA RATS!

Good job. It is now a brand new world.

SWEEEET!! Very nice!!

Congratulations! Just one piece of advice: There's NO shame in going around for another approach. I still do it every now and then, and I'm an instructor. I tell my students to simply go around if anything feels out of place. To heck with the peanut gallery.

Yeah, I learned that fast as well. The only time you have to land is when you are deadsticked.

So tomorrow you're going to maiden the Dolphin?

Nice job, Traski! Don't worry, the excitement won't go away for quite awhile.

I was hoping to fly the Dolphin tomorrow but it raining down here in FL and it dont look like its gonna stop. []
