Default RE: 3CH for a newbie

Hello all. I got an Aerobird Challenger, and FINALLY got it in the air. It's been pretty gusty around here, so I was grounded by weather delays. This morning I finnaly got it up in the air! I'm glad I picked up a slow & lazy 3 ch bird. I found a little difficulty at first remembering that "up is down and down is up". Thankfully I was three mistakes high, as the saying goes. After a few wide circles around the pattern I got the hang of it and was able to control the plane nicely. I'm sure I'll be here of a while, as i don't want to advance to a more capable plane until I've truly mastered this one. I'll keep yopu posted of my adventure (or lack thereof..lol).
