Status: offline 		I remember before my first turbine flight, I started with EDFs on an 18 lb turbine airframe. I think I got too confident for a light wing loading trainer with Thrust/Weight ratio around 50%. Forgot to check CG position that it was specified for turbine with fuel tank forward and empty. It was very intense, my finger and knees were all shaking because the aircraft rotates quickly and climb, then stall, and I lost all the controls. The good part it banks and with help of rudder it dives and regained control but too close to the ground. I went back to the runway trying to hold elevator while oscillating. It was a big lesson.
