If I didn't get goose bumps and butterflies on my maiden flights I would quit flying
I hope that never goes away. Sure some planes cause BIGGER bumps and butterflies, but they all make me excited and keep me in the hobby. Part is to see all your hard work come to fruition and fly well (not all fly well) and part is just to show you can fly anything no matter who (usually me) put that piece of crap together.
I don't like hanger queens so if they don't fly well they get sold or scrapped for parts.
