1st Flight Today!
Well finally got her in the air today thanks to some very outstanding
help from Matt at our club today.
Griffith Barnstormers In.
He dialed in the 46AX and maidened my Tower Hobbies T40.
No trim needed but he had to dial down the rates and then after he got it in the
air again and handed me the radio and flew around in circles for about 6 or 7 min.
He landed it and it was a good start for me.
The G5.5 flight sim was a huge help as I was able to fly the plane around right away.
I wanted to fly more but I have a mystery stomach ailment and had to leave because of the pain.
It was real nice to see the plane in the air and it worked just fine!!!

Thanks fella's cant wait to go again but weather is
not good for a couple weeks now.
I think after this 1st flight, a good quality flight simulator is a huge advantage
to getting started.
