Default RE: b29 bomber

I just had my maiden flight with my b-29 this morning...

6am, the sun is rising and the sky is just a little bit hazy, I have the plane in my hand full engine running. I am a little nervous, don't want to break the model for the first flight. So I take a deep breath and hand launch it... after a slight downward motion to catch speed the b29 start to climb very smothly. I start a right turn and woaw it is so smooth! This airplane fly as good as it looks! I have some experience with other 2 ch model and usually they are a little nervous and unstable when they turn, but the b29 is not one of them! Every thing is smooth about this airplane, it very fidel to the real b-29! I fly around the filed, make some turns, the rising sun reflect on the plane as it turns, it was so beautiful... A silver bird that slide quietly in the morning sky. After a good 8 minutes, I decided to bring down the plane I didn't wanted to push it to the limit the first light . I align the plane with the wind and let him slide down. The control are very precise and smooth. I align the plane on a small dirt road and it make a nice rolling landing. As I pick up the plane I was still a little bit shaking and I thought to my self : " Cool, I just flew a B-29..." As Marcel Dasslaut said : "I nice looking plane will always fly well".. well that true with the B-29. It is realy worth every dollars it cost... I love this airplane!
