*sigh*

As some of yas have prolly seen in another forum, there's yet another newbie in kit-building + flyin hobby. The plane is ready to go now, or at least i hope so.

There was plenty of information in rcu, more in airfieldmodels.com and a hint here and there, which all together made me possible to build this plane without "real life" help. Thank you all for your articles.

However there seems to be one thing that is too obvious for writers, or i just haven't found that yet (Internet is kinda large these days). Pre-flight check.

What do i need to check before i take off 1st time?

Ofcourse its my 1st real flight...

*SIGH*

I must say I've felt way braver in...lets just say it feels like 100 years ago... Really. I have 1100 Gixxer with 170hp in it and i drag my knees in road and track in +100mph speed, so it can't be just lack of... heart.

How do i know that my plane is ready to fly? Is there any other way to find out, than toss it away and use plastic bag if it wasn't?

Plane is low wing electric glider, Fournier RF-4 built from West Wings kit. Rudder, elevator and throttle controls in it. Is there something in that plane type generally or that special model I should know?

I think i managed to balance it right (I guess it was MinnFlyers article, ty again). Now it's nose heavy app 2-3grams. How can i be sure if balancing went wrong?

And...

Can i somehow compare flyin rc plane to flight sim? I mean I think that basic facts in flying are clear to me, but...

So if i ever get her up, what should i do then? Full throttle, nose up, grab and crash and burn possible in every comma-place? I was planning kinda low angle grabbing with the main idea to get seriously alt to have room when i start making mistakes. Then some passes in 10 meters (app 30 feet ) to trim the plane for level flight (if i ever manage to turn it back to me). Is that ok?

And if i didn't ask some question, please answer it anyway. Main reason for not asking is i hadn't a clue...
