RE: Runway take off trouble
I've returned to RC aircraft after an absence of 25 yrs. My "handle" pretty much describes me now, "oldfartpilot"!. I live on a farm in so. cen. KY and have a grass airstrip. I love the peace of flying here on the farm. I also fly at a privately owned airfield not but a few miles from here. It too is out in the boonies. There's never over 6-8 flyers on Sunday, but all are very helpful. These are guys I went to high school with. When I first started flying again I suffered from "performance anxiety". Even here on the farm, I have a spotter as I'm a bilateral amputee, so if I have to land off the airstrip, it's impossible to use my wheelchair to retrieve my plane. Only time will build up your confidence, so hang in there, concentrate on your aircraft and your flying and always remember, "beware lest the earth rises up and smites thee!"
