Finchero .... :
You are mostly correct ... as long as you can calm down a tad, .... you'll be fine!!
Make sure you've cycled the flight packs two or three times, MAKE SURE the transmitter pack is charged (ask me why I know?!?!?), make sure the servo travel is where you expect it to be, and in the correct direction, take a deep breath, and go for it!! ... slow, easy inputs on the sticks ... take your time, and have FUN!!!!
Keep us posted!!
Happy and SAFE flying,
Russ
