Just Gone Solo
 

After 2 instructor lessons

and me flying about 40 flights by myself over christmas,

I completed the test at the club today and can now fly solo.

now i can really get some flying in cause i can go whenever i want now and not have to worry if an instructor will be there....

very cool

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

Yes, very cool. It's a great feeling, isn't it. Congrats!!! Now that you've got your "wings", remember to keep practicing the basics such as takeoffs, landings, and smooth control inputs while in the air.

Congratulations[8D]

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

Congrats Cazarak, definitely a great feeling isn't it?

I agree with practicing the landings. ;)

Congratulations on your Solo, and hope you have many sucessful flights from here on out!

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

I think Cazarak deserves an AttaBoy Minn.
Great job. I remember my solo. Its a miracle I didn't bust a knee cap with all that Knee knocking;).

I have a while yet before I solo....but it is interesting, because my club (AMA chartered) doesnt seem to have any structure to the lesson planning. Everytime I go out there, I fly with someone new, and he basically gets it up there and lets me do what I want to do. They'll point out pointers here and there and keep me out of trouble, which is great. But, I feel that if I wanted to solo, I'd just do it. I don't know of any tests or checkride type things that are involved. Perhaps I just havent found out if there is yet.

Congratz!!! As already stated, practice the landings a lot. Touch and goes are lots of fun and causes fuel consumption to go down :D

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

Great Cazarak!! You have your wings... Now you can get all the
stick time you want!! And with that, all will become second nature!!
Congrads!! Have fun and be safe!!

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

Congratulation Cazarak!!!
What a feeling. As for me, after 2 lessons from my instructor, no news from him since. Still waiting to get to the air after 3 months of waiting. Still waiting, still waiting..............

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

One "Attaboy" comin' up!

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

Cazarak,
Great job! What kind of plane were you using?

RE: Just Gone Solo
 

Thanks all.

and thanks for the AttaBoy Minn

Commander i used a World Models Skyraider Mk I with a LA 46. (we are about 1000 over sea level)

RE: Just Gone Solo

Sorry Paul, Unless you posted you solo here in the beginner's forum I have no way of knowing (And sometimes even then they slip by me)
