Tip # 1: No matter how bad you want to fly wait until there is little or no wind to try your maiden ( and even the next 10 plus flights until you get a handle on the plane)

Tip #2: Double check all things on the plane before you leave the house and once at the field. i.e.- control throws corect, prop on corect ( a backwards props has killed many a plane), batteries peaked, Radio charged, and any thing else you can think of.

Tip # 3: Once all the things are checked do a range check to make sure radio is working properly.

Tip #4: Survey the field and make note of locations of trees and any other obstacles. You can become so focused on the plane you can forget to look for the plane magnets. Pic a landing point in advance as well. If you can find a field with nice 2 foot tal grass for the maiden- softens the blow of the crash landings a bit.

Tip #5: Don't fly with the sun in front of you. Seems pretty common sense but a blinding sun is a killer if your tyring to concentrate on flying.

Tip #6 HAVE FUN and fly baby!!!!!!!!!!!
