I just got back into the hobby after 12 years and I went to a few fun flys and met a few friends I knew years ago, infact, I was the one that taught them how to fly since I was one of the clubs instructors. They let me fly there planes for a while and I got to tell you, it was like I had never left the hobby. I have a U-CAN-DO .46 with a Super Tigre .51 on the business end and plane on heading out next Saturday for the first flight. I plane on doing this by myself and doing what I use to have other newbies do, stand at the end of the runway in the middle and let it take off right in front of you down the runway. I flew .60 to .90 size planes never had a fear of flying like a lot of people do. What ever you do, try not to be nervous and have fun. Thats why we are in the hobby in the first place.
