If you are worried about your first 5 minutes i got you bet in my first minute of flight i crashed it right in front of everyone including my wife. never crash in front of wife when you are a newly wed. as far as not in front of your club if your club is a good one they should have instructors who are real instructors that know how to use the BB and would not let you fly without it. By the way i started flying in 87 i lost an airplane just 2 months ago to a dam Hawk mid air crash both where lost. och by the way i have 3 trainers on hand to remind me of the basics and you will learn to fly dont get upset about flying and crashing it happens to all. it will specially happen win you take it as you know everything. as far as your teacher not instuctor fire him hethe instructoris incharge not you and your club should make him pay for your plane. if i was instructing you that wouldnt have happened ever.
