I just had my first flight today....plane flys great and all and all i wasn't shaking too bad...but one time i did pull too much and almost did a rocket launch ...LOL..but really it isn't that bad...flying HIGH and slow...doing some circles but I think my knee's will be rocking when i do come in for landing...btw...no buddy box ..just instructor standing right next to me...telling me to pull more or bank more or less...and only a few times did he put his thumbs on the sticks...so that will give ya some courage...but WOW it was a blast to see something i built fly so darn good..every said it was flying GREAT ...makes ya feel good aobut yourself...THIS hobby rocks!!!
