Congrats!!

But the use of the word Soled may be a bit premature.. Landing the plane at a spot of your choosing is a big part of it. Keep practicing and enjoy

Sorry, but at either of the clubs I belong to, you would not yet be allowed to fly on your own.

Putting the plane down ON the field and WHERE you meant to is a huge part of flying.

Sounds like you're getting close though.

I also soloed on Wednesday night. My instructor was with me and after a few flights on the BB, he pulled the cord and handed me my RD6000. Boy was I scared. I took off and landed 3 times on the field. Our field is not the easiest to land on because it crowns severly. It was to be a highway, and never got stoned or paved. The flat part is 25-30' wide before it crowns. My problem is coming in to the center of the runway. I still have a lot to go before I green string. I will have to be able to take off, land do touch and go's, figure 8's and stall and regain control of the aircraft in flight. My instructor is the greatest guy though. I might get to go up today, can's wait.

Yes, keep practicing. BTW, that is the longest sentence I have ever read.
