Started flying RC proper in 97. I had dabbled in free flight and C/L as a kid as well as building a single channel radio model somewhere in between.

First plane was a Great Planes trainer 40 which I built from a kit. Given that it was the 1st plane I had built for many years it was OK up to the point where I joined the wing halves. As soon as the expoxy had set it was obvious that I had not aligned the wings accurately such that the incidence was slightl different. Took a bucketful or aileron trim to get it to fly, but fly it did!
