I have had a guy on the buddy box since September and he still can't solo! I have to take it from him at least five times per flight.
Congratulations!

well on the sim i can hover, do tail touches, and roling harriers so flying circuts wasnt very hard. but im a helicopter guy which im sure gave me some skills to make it easier to fly airplanes.
