RE: Self Teaching - Maiden Flight
Uh huh...and just remember...if you crashed once, you can do it again.
I wish you luck...but what you really need is a good instructor. You WERE lucky. If you continue to pursue it on your own, you WILL undoubtably lose one or more planes. Considering the expense AND the trauma inflicted to your confidence level after such an event, you might actually stay in the hobby with the help of a good instructor. Just my opinion.
Good luck at any rate...and YES, some video of your erratic flying would be interesting.
