Default RE: Getting back into flying....


ORIGINAL: Michaelvg11

I have decided to dust off my Cap 232 scratch build and get back into flying. It's been 5 years since being in control of a RC plane. When I flew, I flew the cap very well.
I'm just debating while prepping it for a first flight again, if I should risk it with this plane. It's beautiful and flew wonderfully.
Do you think I should get a ARF electric or something to get me comfortable with flying again. I don't want to get a Eagle 2 type plane I had 15 years ago. I just sold my old 4 Star. Looking for a intro intermediate plane to bring me back up to comfort level before flying the Cap. I just re did the radio and put in a new fuel tank. I have to run the motor a bit, but everything is frozen.
What do you guys think?
I live in a condo so scratch build is not an option right now.
Thanks
Michael

Get a Big Stik or Ultra Stick. You will continue to use those as break-in engine or how's the radio models long after you have regained your flying skills.
