RE: Solo on your own?
Well, I'm planning to fly my first plane and for the first time with no instructor in a deserted field this weekend, depending on the weather of course. I have a Kadet LT-25 with a O.S .25 FX and a Futaba 4YF Radio. I read a lot on R/C, especially from this forum. I also have basic knowledge on how a planes flies, I've played a lot of flight sims. I feel more comfortable flying alone the first few times. I will join a club tho, this summer problaby. I am a self-teaching kinda guy and I'm expecting to crash.... I don't really mind, I love building, flying is just a bonus for me right now :-) I will do my pre-flight check and taxi around to get a feel of the control, then take off and just gain altitude and make some turns... nothing fancy.
I'll let you know next week how it went!!
