hi

as others have said don't be too hasty to sell everything and quit. you will crash if you fly, eventually, just goes with the game. I have been in hobby sinc3 '59 or '60 and I have stopped and restarted many times during this period, but I have never sold my planes or equipment, just hang them up and store engines for later use. some planes I have rebuild many times. also on any new plane it is a good idea to carefully check everything before first flight and have an experienced flyer help you get it trimmed for flight. much easier than trying an untrimmed aircraft unless you have a lot of stick time and experience with different aircraft.

a good investment for you would be a flight simulator, real flight G-2 would be my suggestion, best money I have spent in awhile.

keep flying, don't give up go back to trainer for awhile. you may have advanced to hotter aircraft too quickly.

good luck
joe
