i got in contact with the club and went down today(just got back). i flew for the first time which was quite exciting, especially as it wasnt my plane. i was doing figure of 8's. it was on a buddy box and he had to step in twice when i went the wrong way on the stick as it was coming towards me. my other problem was being to jerky on the stick but i was alot smoother by the end of the run.

he was quite impressed when i manged to get myself out of trouble when a gust of wind caused it to climb very high and roll a bit to the left.

all in all it was a sucses and all my questions were answered. im going to go a few more times though before i commit to buying a plane but judged on today i think i am going to enjoy flying!
