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

Hey, if you are uncomfortable then don't chance it, go up with an instructor either on a buddy box or with him directly by your side. I'm sure that after an orbit or three you will be just fine.

I often get the jitters on my first flight of the day after I've laid off for a couple of weeks, and judging by the weather coming up for this weekend here in the northeast, well, it's gonna be a couple more weeks before I get one of my planes up... unless I can manage to head out to the big hanger at Lakehurst NAS.

But, that Tiger 60 is a gentle flyer and should not be to much of a problem on the first flight after six months. I have one and love the thing... it was (still is) my second plane after my trainer.
