Default RE: are any of you scared to fly?

But being scared is all part of this hobby, it gets your adrenaline rushing! (Well that's how I see it)
I agree! Although it would be nice if you never crashed, I think it would almost get boring if that possibility wasn't there.

When I first started flying my 4* this spring I was literally shaking after each flight. That was pure adreneline and I am glad my nerves have calmed down since then.

However, my wing broke in two on my 4* Saturday and demolished the plane when it hit the ground. The wing broke due to a previous repair a few months ago.

After that flight, the same day, I was a nervous weck flying my space walker. Even though it wasn't pilot error, the fact that I just demolished a plane had my nerves on end, topped with the fact that I no longer had a back up plane..

But I think I am somewhat scared every flight. If I wasn't I would be a lot more daring.

I think after you demolish a plane for the first time, some of the scaryness goes away because you've been there done that. Thats just my opinoin from my experience.
