Default RE: Maiden Day Flights!!

I used to stress.<div>
</div><div>But then I wondered what I was stressing about. </div><div>
</div><div>A) The money?  Meh.  It's spent.  It's not as though you can use the plane to pay rent or something (Unless you're a pro, i suppose), so why worry about it?  The money's already gone.  Besides...if you can't afford to "lose" the money, you shouldn't be committing it to hurtling through the air at eleventy mph on the strength of an invisible electronic signal. </div><div>
</div><div>B) How it flies?  Kinda late to worry about that now.  How it'll fly was determined long ago by the builder/assembler.  What's done is done.  Knee-knocking isn't going to change how it flies.</div><div>
</div><div>C) Will something break?  Who knows?  If you're worrying because you're using untested, unproven, or discount components, then you DESERVE to be worried.  On the other hand, if you've selected wisely, and used known equipment, then, again, all the knee knocking isn't going to change whether it breaks.</div><div>
</div><div>Sure...you "never know", and strange/scary things happen.  It happens to all of us.  But why get torqued about it?  if you've done due dilligence before hand, then go fly and have fun. </div>
