Default RE: Maiden Flight For Plane And Pilot! Video Inside!

Thanks! I was was literally shaking with nervousness! This thing is really easy to land with enough distance and little to no wind. I pretty much just cut throttle and let it glide in, and added just a touch of up elevator just before touchdown. My brother got this on his cameraphone, and the video seems like it is sped up to me a little, the landing seemed much slower in person. Also, i was chopping grass with the prop, that was why i pulled back so hard on take off, The grass being as tall as it was didn't seem to affect the landing, I was assuming it would do an endo on touchdown!
