I've been flying just over 2 years now and I'm still loving it. I have hundreds and hundreds of flights under my belt (lost count after 150 or so flights) and I still get nervous, especially for the first flight of the day. I've lost a plane or had some problems with 'flying fever' where I overlooked problems with battery voltages or ignored a rough idle/transition, or forgot to tighten LG bolts. Pre-flight checks begin at home.

Low-rates and gentle flying for the first few minutes help me to calm down, but I enjoy pushing my comfort zone a little each flight.
