thanks for the tips guys. i think the part im most worried about is if i have any control surfaces that arent perfect, or my CG is off a little. im confident otherwise. i think im going to do a few taxis and make sure shes all good before i even attempt to do some touch and goes. been practicing the landing some more and it is getting consistently better. im going to try and get some good pics of it when i get off work so i can share it. we always land. the only difference is if it is controlled, or an utter failure!!!
