Just for the fun of it, here's a short video of the day I went solo. I've edited it a little bit in order to get the file smaller and also cut out the boring bits like flight in the circuit and removed the soundtrack.
This was back in 2000. The plane is a Skyfox fixed wing microlight.
The file is here at this link:

Jislaaik Duckie, dog amper jy druk jou hande deur die propeller
mens kan mos nie daai vreugde van die eerste solo in woorde beskryf nie.

Nice to have that on video.
I owned one of those, I hated it. The dash was too far away, you couldn't change the QNH when strapped in, I couldn't trim it for hands off flying dual, it hated,as did I, turbulance. It flew like a brick.
