good job on your first flight. my first landing wasn't so pretty either. the nervouseness will subside, but will never go away completely. once you are used to flying, and are not so nervous, listen to instinct. i didn't a few months back and crashed my trainer. it was time to move up (again) n e way, but i would still rather have my alpha in one piece. i had a bad feeling about that day from the drive over, till the plane went crunch. i took one of my buddies out to show him the sport, and didn't want to let him down. now i wish i had let him down and just kept the plane on the ground that day. at least now i have a good excuse to buy a new plane. after all, my wife can't argue that i have a perfectly good plane and don't need another one!
