Every beginner has that fear, and most of us feel it every time we fly a new plane for the first time.
The
best way to make sure your first flight is a positive one is to find yourself an instructor. They'll help you ensure that your plane is airworthy and 100% ready to go before it leaves the ground. They'll teach you how to handle an engine, and introduce you to the basics of flying. It's very, very important that you find one.
The sooner you find one, the better. They can give you hands-on help when you get stuck building, and can help make sure you're on the right track. You want your plane to be built right and last a long time, and a helpful instructor is the one that can help you make that happen.
Bigger planes don't necessarily crash harder. A small plane can be just as easily damaged as a larger one. Larger planes like the LT-40 really are easier to fly, which reduces your chances of crashing.
