Hello All,
Today I had my first solo. I'll give a condensed version now, and in the next day or so, I'll post a much longer version with pictures and videos.
I took off (man, the plane does feel differently without the CFI there) and came back for my first landing that was pretty darn good. The second time around, I felt a little bit rushed, and I was a little bit wobbly/left of centerline and I went around. I came back and got it down with a couple of bumps. The 3rd time, I went around 3 times
and got it down without bending metal or bone, so, life is good
but I definitely need to work on not flaring too early. I now have .9 under my PIC column, all in all, a great day!
