Man it was awesome

Congrats man. Feels great doesn't it

Awesome Mate,

Doesn't the aircraft perform!

Look forward to solo consol.
You might get bored, but it's good learning.

Cheers, congrates and happy flying!

Congrats man, its a good feeling alright.

Well Done

Its a great feeling ... one that will stay with you for life

Cheers guys, Was a great day and am looking forward to more solo flights coming up

Just wait for your first solo cross country, thats where the real fun begins

Here is the video and a pic:


It was funny when I did my last check before I shutdown the engine with the mags" Left-Right-Off- Back to both" the key slipt out and fell on the ground
That's why the prop went all crazy and why I had to restart the engine as you will notice in the vid:

Sorry for the quality but enjoy: Shame the Q300 was in the way


Funny as, I just uploaded it and youtube identified it as being copyrighted just because I used a soundtrack with Jack Johnsons- Crying Shame music.
Stupid huh

Note: SON is one of the best planes at the moment, Brand new paint Job, New Engine. Still dosen't fly quite as nice as DAD,KID,MUM but was a good solo machine.

Awesome mate,

Yeah wondered why the restart, thought you couldn't wait for your next flight. Ha ha

Take care and happy flying

Congratulations, that's something you'll never forget! Oh, and as for the slipping ignition key during the dead cut check, don't worry, that's happened to most of us at some point.

Big congratulations Chris, what a great achievement!
