No worries scubyfan, didn't mean any disrespect. Just keep reading posts about blowing up planes on the first flight from students who won't get help.

On a training note, I have seen a lot of new ones crash because of trim problems. Remember one thing. Never quit flying the plane. It doesn't matter how far out of trim it is, get it flying, hold the sticks where you have to so it will fly, and get it up high enought to trim it. If it is not controllable, get the power back or all the way off before it hits the ground.

You probably knew tht already, but I said it anyway for the guys that didn't. I have flown many out of a bad situation and guys always say they would have let it hit the ground. Don't try to fly it out if it will endanger the guys on the ground or in the pits though.

Good luck. You will get it.
