I just flew for the first time this summer last week, it was close to 4 months sense last time and my knees were a little bit shakey but just for the first minute or so.IMO go at it.if you worry about a crash it's probably gonna happen so just think that your gonna be ok and fly that ole thing like a pro..remember the worst that can happen is you get to buy a new plane ..lol have fun ..thats why we build em ..
