If you were capable of flying this type before, you'll be fine. Once your knees stop shaking and the rust is knocked off, she'll make you look good. I"ve had 3 dead sticks. All right after take off. !st, after a vertical take off. Couldn't get the nose back up after the tail slide. Broke the whole nose off at the fire wall (loose spark plug). 2nd, was able to turn 180 and make it to the run way, perfect 3 point. 3rd, couldn't make the turn and mushed into the tall stuff after a low and slow 135 deg. turn. Both these were caused by me reversing the vent and supply lines when i put things back together from the first. No tip stall and we're talking full of fuel and very slow here. Don't worry about it.
