Well I did it the hard way. My first flight was succesful, as was my second. My third fight was too but the landing left a lot to be desired. Anyway I fixed the fire wall and flew that plane four more times until it met an untimely demise. To date I have flown with some degree of success, and I have not lost one of my fleet lately but you know how that goes.

I soloed with an World Models Super Stunts 40. Pretty tame. I did and do play my G2 sim, and I think it is very helpful to teach the thumbs whats up. After a while it just becomes second nature
