Yes, I agree with Chuck. We are all trying to be seriously helpful. Of course there are those who take to the sky like a bird, but I have yet to see such a person. I remember having trouble with one tip even with an instructor.

How about this, a list of things that I've seen before a first flight,

1) Make sure all the controls are going in the right direction
2) Make sure you have the recommended number of rubber bands
3) Make sure all of the hardware is tight
4)...

The point I'm trying to make is there is a long list of stuff that needs to be right.
