RE: How do you maiden your plane???
once you are capable, you should do your own maidens. no sense in bothering other people for something you can do and should do yourself. ever since i solo'd i have ben maidening my own planes, with a lot of success. see, on maidens, as long as you are balanced and set up correctly as any pre-flight would verify, your chances of actually crashing are not as great as most people think they are. sure, it is a bit out of trim. full throttle it and gain altitude asap, full bore it and fine-tune it.
