Finally soloed
It was sort of unceremonious b/c I've done many flights unassisted but with a buddy box connected. But, we pulled the plug today and it was no big deal. In fact, I brought out my EP-42 recently converted to brushless and soloed it before my LT-40 on which I have much more experience. I have less emotional investment in the electric since I didn't built it from a kit and so had no issues flying it as a solo first. Flew the LT-40 as second solo.
That box has been checked now.

Way to go man!!!!!!The solo is just about the best feeling in the world. And don't worry, that silly grin goes away in a few weeks!!!!

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

I'd second that teaching plan. Once you can do basic aerobatics and feel comfortable with at least your second plane, consider taking on a student. It'll improve your flying skills too, thinking ahead of what they might do and how to recover from it.
