Mike Wiz: Amen brother!

Last Saturday I flew my new WM 1.20 Extra 300s for the first time. On every other plane that I have owned (fun flys, stiks, combat stuff), I set the control throws to 'as much as I could get' on high rates and basically 50% to 75% of that for low rates. What a mistake! The first sharp bank-and-yank put the Extra into a nasty snap about 75' off the ground. Luckily I realized what had happened and let off the elevator and recovered (barely)...but it could have resulted in a crash that most likely would have totalled the plane.

I guess what they say is true: Experience is something you needed right before you get it!
