RE: first flight
Oh heck even after 50+ landings, my legs still shake LOL!!! Congrats, I know that feeling all too well. Just think what you will be feeling when you solo the first time.
Last Tuesday I maidened my old Deweyville that I picked up used at a swap meet and put a DLE20 on it. When I got it up, trimmed it out, flew it around for a good 10-15 minutes and then made a perfect landing, I hit the kill switch, fell to my knees, fell back and let out a rebel yell! You will probably do the same thing you first solo, Enjoy! this is a wonderful hobby!
