Ice! It's great to see some younger ones in the hobby! I'm 38 and just got into this hobby last year in May. I have flown 5 different planes by now and bought my first low wing ARF a couple months ago. Goldberg Tiger 60. After completion, I hauled that thing around in my truck to the field every time and never maidened her because, just like you, noone was at the field with the experience I thought I needed just in case. Finally, one day, me, my brother and my dad (all with the same amount of experience) was at the field alone and I took her out and took her up. It was a breeze, and actually required NO trim at all. It was amazing. That probably won't happen again in a million years. Anyway, the point to my story is, I should have put her in the air long before I did. You have the experience needed to maiden a stick. You'll find them great flying planes and will slow to speeds your trainer will slow to. Go for it and let us know how it goes!
