Congratulations. Good stuff.

Now that you figured out where the runway is, well, now comes the training part. the hard part.

What you have to do now is get the plane up in the air, we usually say "three mistakes high" and get ahead of the plane and fly it.

What I mean is that once airborne, several things should happen the very first time up each day. You should pick an altitude, back off the throttle, then trim the plane for straight and level flight with "hands off" the transmitter (actually, just take your fingers off the sticks is what we mean by that). Once done, then just go into long orbits or ovals. First about 10 right hand turn ovals, then about 10 left turn ovals. Meaning, make a 180 degree turn, heading the opposite direction fly a straight line for the lengh of your flying field, make another 180 degree turn that is coordinated and maintains a constant altitude, and head back and do it again.

Getting ahead means that you anticipate what is going to happen next then set up for it, meaning rather than let the plane fly you, you fly the plane.

Repeat this, as I said several times, perhaps a through a whole tank of fuel. Did you say you were flying glow or electric? No matter.. one tank or one battery. Land, refuel or recharge or change battery packs, then, after a rest period, go back up again. You can repeat the orbits or you can switch to figure eights. This way you get the right and left turn each time.

At some point, you will start to practice approaches, coming in high, directly over the centerline of the runway, staying about 30 or so feet high and pass by... add throttle and go around. Repeat this several times then begin to come in lower, then lower until you land straight and with out all the wallowing around.

All this takes time, so be patient. But the end result is that you will feel more and more confident that you are really learning to "master" the plane, although you never will.. none of really have.

Best of luck with this, and again, congratulations!!
