first solo

heliplates i have about 20 or so hrs and last thursday we had done about 20 mins dual then my instructor got out and told me to do a couple of take offs and landings (solo first time) while he watched from a distance.I was chuffed when he got out i thought here we go. As he walked away from the aircraft (h300c) reality set in and my arse started to twitch a bit,but i thought i got to give it a go and within about 10 seconds of pulling the collective up i was fine and felt quite confident,it was one of the best moments of my life.
As whirlygig said the one thing that took some getting used to was the c of g without my instructor sitting next to me its amazing how much it leans to one side.
Done some mini circuits then on saturday for a couple of hours and loved every minute of it.

PS MD 600 DRIVER funny you should mention that name !!!!!!!
