RE: flying solo - shakes
If you have a computer-tx, program some expodential into the controls, especially elev and ail. it will soften the effects of the nervous thurmbs syndrome. Yet if you need full fast ctrl you will get it abit further out on the throws, I think I started out my first soloed flights with -75% on all ctrls, on a Futaba 9CAF. Reallllyy smoothed out my landings.
I still get the jitters, I think its great, rattles loose the Ol Farts-itis, that can mysteriously creep up on us.
