Re: First Solo Video

Yeah, honestly recording my solo was an afterthought. After my second landing, I pulled my phone out and set it on the seat next to me. Flying by myself was quite relaxing!

Currently trying to decide what aircraft to pursue. Thinking about a 105HP Super Cub and starting an experimental build in the fall. Going to knock out my little wheel endorsement in the next few weeks and go from there.
