Status: offline 		I'm what you might call a midland flyer. I got started last July. Took lots of time to get my first plane built. I was always nervous when I flew. Shaking nervous. Then my second was an arf (GP Big Stik). I was really excited about this plane and crashed it on my third flight (my instructor went out of town but said I could handle it - I had engine trouble). There are more planes but the point is I was a little afraid, even though I'm a decent pilot and that was really holding me back.
I got on FMS 3 weeks ago and started screwing around. Then I got out my 3d aerobatics books and started practicing knife edge, spins, hovering, etc with FMS and a profile model. I really concentrated on landings. I finally got out today with my instructor and flew my 3d profile Gee Bee plane. I took off, I knife edged, I did a knife edge loop, I did a spin, I did snap rolls, I sort of hovered and then did a bunch of touch and goes and finally landed 2 dead sticks. Right off the bat I got turned around and almost lost it but I never got scared or shakey. The rest of the day was great. I even finally flew my Ultra Stick .40 (I didn't fly cause I didn't want to crash it).
I believe all of these were possible because of FMS. Thank you, thank you FMS (my birds thank you too....as well as my wallet).
