Mr. Canadian,
My second R/C plane was a Spitfire, (my first was a Eagle II trainer). I was confident in myself. I pointed her into the wind. throttled up, she took off, and the rest is history. What a thrilling experience. I do recommend you purchase the Great Planes G2 Flight Simulator and practice landings, takeoffs, and flying with the aircraft on the program. I recommend this to all of my students. Their flying is great! Good luck.

"Keep 'Em Flying!"
