Was absolutely awesome I taxied, took off, flew and landed. WooHoo!

I have been wanting to do this since I was 8 years old, so a twenty year wait isn't all that bad

Careful, flying is adictive!!!

Congrats, now hit the books and learn about coordinated turns and airspace!

Congratulations Narsus!

Make sure you buy trivial stuff like a house, car, etc before you start!. I know now, that I'll never be able to afford a house

(Because all my money disappear into this black hole called aviation, but it's worth every penny)

erm why so much?

last time I looked which was maybe a year or two ago it was only marginally more expensive than fixed wing.

that includes taking your ground school as fixed wing then switching .

it was only like 3500-4000k

shop around some, you may find that 10k isn't the norm.
