DOWNT....you're killing me!!!!..I do admit that I need dry undies and a dry T-shirt after a maiden.....I'm dragging to fire the plane up...not knowing how all will go once I hit the throttle and she gets airborne..my heart beat get's out of sight and you are right...the knees are just twitching like crazy...by the sound of it, you have had the same experience several times too......once she is back on the ground in one piece..I have to sit down and blow off steam......so..well....I'll take your advice...I'll need to have someone else doing the video and take her up myself....ghee whizz....I'm starting to sweat already, and it still takes a couple of days....
