I've sent hundreds on their first solo. The one who crashed on landing was one of the better ones. Actually it was his second solo - as such a more risky exercise. I've sent plenty of 16 year olds off in 57ft wingspan motorgliders with castoring tailwheels which sure as hell are more challenging than the Libertys in question...
So I think we should quit blaming the aircraft.
Blaming anything ahead of the official report is a waste of time. You may as all learn that now in your career rather than later.
