I finally did my first solo flight!!!!!
Wow! that was incredible
 .... I really can belive that now I am a real pilot  !> I really thank my 2 instructor Charles Peterson and Marcelino. Thay really made my dream come true.I just recall taking off and reaching 300 feet.From that moment on I knew that I can turn back. I look down and saw that I was no more on the airport. I keep climing 350 feet, and start to make my turn. The turn went great! Nose up airspeed 50-55 mph. Then I was going down wind!. HOLLY MAC!! It felt like some one kick my gyro on the back !. from 50mph went to 65 in 2 second !I took out couple of rpm to stay at 55 mph. "WOW I still can belive I am flyin" I said. So I have to make a landing. I cordinate my turn keeping my 55 mph . Now I have the run way at front. I lower the nose cut a litter of power intill it was idle. The gyro went down 300 feet(at 55 mph),250,200,100, 50... "I am almost there  " 10, 5 I level the gyro with the power in idle made a flare and touch down  !I finally did it!.... I finally did it!. I park my gyro everyone was happy! So when I got out of my gyro my friend good friend Sammy got a bucket of cold water and throw at me (This is a tradition). I really can say how good I feel. Now I am really a pilot........Is a shame Chuck Irby is not here. Because I promise him that he was the one that was going to post it first.. I dedicated this to him, and all the person here that help me to realise this. Thank you all!
