Here is my history on R/C planes.
I bought the Hobbico Nexstar about three months ago and have yet to fly. I work with some guys that fly not very far from here, it is just getting the right time for them and myself. As far as an instructor, that is about a 60 mile trip one way.
So, in the mean time I ordered the Judge. I was thinking, o.k., I can fly it here in my backyard or at the ball field. It does mild to wild so this is something to pursue. So I thought.
It just all stems back to my lack of experience. It has nothing to do with the airplane. I do however own and run G3 simulator. I have flown on there lots so I guess I thought I could handle a foamy. My wife says I better order something that will work with what equipment that came with the Judge. No sense quiting now and wasting what money I have put into this hobby this far.
As I said before, I should have found some pavement somewhere to do a normal take-off till I got used to the way the plane handled. I trimmed it out before flight but who is to say it was right for the plane in flight.
