Default RE: To maiden or Not to maiden... Tis' the question.

Thanks guys! I thinkk I've made up my mind to maiden it. I'd imagin It'll be like my trainer at first. On my maiden I took it up really high and flew around at a mild speed. Then once I thought well I might as well have some fun with it, so I busted out some loops, rolls, stalls, snaps ect. It might be a couple more weeks before I'm completely comfortable around the plane. It has a 1.40 swingin an 18 in. prop and I'm 15 and only 130 pounds so it would eat me alive! So I'm still getting comfortable up close to it, but once I am and the weathers good I'll let you know how it goes. Any other tips?
