I've been flying for a few years and consider myself a decent flyer of both planes and helis. I still get nervous. I find the nerves to vary depending on the cost of the plane. My tribute doesn't get my heart racing unless I do something crazy, my 30cc sbach onthe other hand, about gave me a heart attack when I maidened it the other day. You'll find that your nerves will calm a bit when you get a second plane. Because in the back of your mind you know that if you crash you still have somethin to fly. Embrace the nerves! They make this hobby fun! If there wasn't a risk, there would be little reward
