Congrats !!

That solo is a flight is an all time rush you will always remember, I don't care how long you have been flying.

Now, set your sights on defining a goal for each flight - work on a specific manuever, touch-and-goes and leave some time for just boring holes in the air. When you get good with your trainer, set up the throws for more movement on all the control and practice all your manuevers again. This is the way you progress as a pilot.

Congrats BlackThunder!

I'm going to start something new. From now on, when someone solos, they receive one of these.

The Official RCU "ATTABOY"
(suitable for framing, lining trash cans, or wrapping fish).

Congratulations!

At our club we would now refer to you as the "latest most dangerous member". :D

This is an affectionate term meant to both welcome you to the fold and remind you that although you're now certified as "safe enough not to endanger others", there is still a lot you need to learn.

Enjoy the trip.

Black Thunder,

Welcome to the hobby! After a while, you'll find that you need that flying "fix" at least once a week. I guess it's sort of like a drug habit. The drug habit would probably be cheaper though.

Again, CONGRATS!!!

Hey Minnflyer... Nice Touch.

Drop by our club someday. We're in the Florida of Canada, Windsor, Ontario.

MinnFlyer, it's amazing some of the things you get for free around here ;) it is a nice touch.

I think I have developed a tolerance for this hobby because If im not flying im building something new just to pass the time until I get to fly againright now I have four planes ready and I only have 2 radio set ups so I have to pick my two most favorite every time I go flying.
