nexstar22,
Congrats on the solo flight. It's a great feeling. Heck, I bet you still have that silly smile on your face. Don't worry about it, I had the same smile on my face for about 3 months!! :D

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

There's nothing like that rush of a first solo!

Here's wishing you many happy flights

I don't know about you guys but my first flight of the day feels like a solo. Shakey knees and all!! Only been flying glow for about a year and still get excited just flying the pattern and really get worked up when I perform a new move.

Thanks,
Joel

Congratulations! A solo is a very exciting event. You get to show people all the things you have learned. Proving you can do Figure 8 basic flight, Box pattern, touch and go's, take-offs and landings, dead sticks, all from multiple directions of the field. Now you are a trusted member of the RC pilot community. You did all this in 1 week! WTG!!!

thanks guys....yeah its only been a week...I still have alot to learn. my figure eights look like poop. but I'll fix that sooner or later..as long as I can take off and land, Im happy...hahahaha...

Nexstar22,
Congradulations on your SOLO! However, don't get bummed out over your first CRASH. It will happen sooner or later. My first solo was all by myself after learning on the Crach & Burn method, (crash plane, burn what can't be repaired)! Today we have Buddy Boxes and Flight Simulators. They are great. Good luck in al your future flights.

"Keep 'Em Flying!"
