My first solo flight! Instructor holding wing. All great until not enough power to complete the rotation. I wanted to keep 60kts but in slowing the rotation down, I never regained 60. Didn't want to settle for 55kts with the shallow angle. Pulled off while there was field ahead. Best solo so far :S
