flyinhawaiian Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Good luck dude! As my instructor always told me before I soloed or took a check ride..."Don't f*ck up!" ;DHave fun with it!

flyinhawaiian Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Ahhh, good to see a C172R. That's the same type of plane I had my first powered solo flight in - N172WG on 7/20/2002 - my 16th birthday. Well deserved my friend, I wish you many more safe landings as Pilot In Command!
hobofat Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 I dunno Oliver, the prop doesn't seem to be rotating right in that first pic, maybe you should ask the dev to replace the 3D prop with a flat disc version Also, congratulations!
Oliver Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 Hehe thanks guys!! And honestly the sheer joy and excitment overpowered my nervousness! I kept my cool and also kept the biggest smile on my face! When you'll do your first solo, you'll be way too content to even feel nervous

I kept my cool and also kept the biggest smile on my face! When you'll do your first solo, you'll be way too content to even feel nervous So much truth here. I'll never forget my first two solos (soloed in gliders first). Being there alone for the first time, the realization that you are a PILOT, is a feeling like no other. Takes a while to sink in, but come to think about it, the fact still hasn't sunk in for me. Brings a smile to my face every time!
