Well i finnaly did it. We were flying and my insrutctor said "here take my controller and give me the buddy box". We switced and i flew for a little bit and landed. We went again he went out with me for the takeoff. I toke off and while i was in the air he said. Im going to sit in the shade and i will come out when we need to land. He came out 8-10 minutes later and said. "Its time too land." I landed and packed up my gear said thankyou and made plans next week. I haven't had the test so i can fly by myself but i SOLOOOOD!!!

O and Minnflyer instead of writing my S/N on the "attaboy" could you put Colin. (thats my name) Thx.

Congrats Colin!

Great feeling isn't it? And it only gets better from here on out.

Way to go Colin!

That first solo flight is one you will always remember and get a rush from.

Once you are on your own, the key is: Practice, Practice and More Practice. This isn't to say that you can't go up and bore holes in the sky, but you do need to dedicate part of each flight to practicing a specific maneuver 5 or 6 times in that flight. This is the key to continued improvement. Also, practicing touch-and-go's is the way to really get to be an expert at landing.

Take care, keep up the good work and let us hear how it is going.

WTG Colin!

Thx Minnflyer for the "attaboy".

u get kicked in the ***** by the instructor the first time u ever land, and the first time u solo!!!! the joy comes from that army boot stuck down there!!!
aaaahhh...RC pilot traditions...i love 'em :stupid:

it feel so good don't you?

FunXtra,
That must be a local, or club thing. No one around here kicks or gets kicked.

its just something from my ex-local club back in peru...hey evry organization has their own little differences.
