RE: Need help with my first plane
Well following that logic, if you aren't confident in the plane or your abilities to fly it then don't fly it. That's one of the first things my instructor told me- if you aren't 100% confident for the next flight for any reason, don't take off. I do understand not wanting to wait until you can afford a different plane, but if you just go out and wreck that one you'll have lost a major part of your investment. As it is, this could become a fun plane for you once you have some experience. For that matter, it could be a decent trainer for you if you get some help and don't try to fly beyond your or the plane's ability.
