Congratulations. I think the balance of the aircraft minus the instructor was the thing I remember most about my solo, too!
It's good that you are itching to get back up again because, and I speak for myself, that buzz doesn't go away!
Enjoy!

James Jimmy James,
Heartiest congratulations and welcome to the Club!
In a GT 450, your absence of instructor would be responsible for something like a 25% increase in Thrust-to-Weight ratio; quite an increase in performance.
A day you will forever remember. I trust you had a superb hangover the next morning.
Cheers,
Neppie

Cheers guys, it only dawned on me that I was flying alone on take off but more importantly the landing!! All that extra power on take off was scarily exciting, it threw me right back into my seat, I loved it!!
The beers will certainly be flowing tonight!!
Cheers for all your support!
