Default RE: Haven't flown in 6 months...need help

Ken is right. I think most of us here in MN have first-flight jitters every spring, but it all comes back. One thing you'll want to be sure to do is to give your equipment a thorough going over. Fix all those little nagging problems that accumulate during the flying season, and make sure that everything is double-checked and ready to go.

If you'll feel more comfortable having a more experienced pilot next to you, by all means ask someone. There's no shame in it--you're still new to the hobby, and it's far better to ask for help while flying than to ask for help in picking up the pieces. If it turns out that you don't need any assistance in flying you'll just have a spotter next to you, which more of us should do anyway.
