My very first time soloing any helicopter to altitude, first time flying at this airport and one of the first times this helicopter has flown above a hover. It's been a huge journey these past 8-9 years building it, and this feels like a pretty intense milestone.
Had to do a go-around on the first loop, as I came in way too high and didn't want to do an extended steep approach. Figured out my angle a bit better the next few times, but still could have come in lower. Considering all of those "firsts", I'll take it. Don't judge me too harshly. :-)
Also, I'm not great at video editing.
