Well, I've been in and out of this hobby for 15 years, and steadily back in for the last two. I reacquainted myself with rc flight with a GWS cub, then a tiger moth, both of which are still flying, albeit in heavily modified form. The cub is my everyday flyer, with a clipped wing with spruce spar, and EPS100C running on 3s li-po. It can climb at up to about 80*, snap rolls, loops, and spins like you wouldn't believe, and I routinely fly it in winds up to about 12-15mph. All this time, I've been quietly accumulating more kits and engines, etc than I know what to do with...two norvels, two OS, a fox and so on. I finally finished building a sig kadet LT-25 to employ the fox .40, but I've been dreading the maiden flight, which would have happened this weekend but for the wind. I'm trying to do things the smart way, and have a trim flight done by one of the club 'instructors', and at the least ahve them on hand to grab the Tx if I screw up the first flight or two. Am I worrying too much about this? How hard is it transitioning from 2 years of flying parkflyers into flying glow power? I ask because my father, who's at about the same experience and skill level as myself, transitioned into his telemaster w/o help, had no problems(other than depth perception--flew into the treetops once, claiming he thought the plane was closer), and is encouraging me to follow suit. However, I'm not buying it. See, this way, if someone else wrecks it on the maiden, I can be mad at them instead of myself. I should add, all surfaces and linkages have been checked and re-checked, low rates and expo dialed in for good measure (just as a starting point), and there's no real reason, ie warpage, etc, that it should be significantly out of trim. Yikes, sorry for the long post.
