Well I've been tring to fly since I was about 15 ( now pushing 40 God where did that go) I have had several planes and would spend about 2 months being very enthuistic and then do something silly and send the next couple of years getting the bug again. Have had several planes andmany different motors.
I got a new world star forty for my birthday 2 years ago, ( it is an ARF) and it took me 18 months to get around to putting it together. Went out and Get a 46LA for it. Checked everything a zillion times, and went to the club.
After 3 weekends doing a couple of flights each time I was tested for my bronze wings pretty much without even knowing I was doing it. Passed that and now have had a weekend of flying SOLO.
It has only taken about 25years but boy I'm chuffed with myself
My plane flys like a dream and the motor nevers misses a beat ( gee I hope I haven't put the mockers on).
Keep at it and you will love it.
My 2c worth

A solo flight is a great accomplishment and that wins you one genuine RCU ATTABOY (Suitable for framing, wrapping fish, or lining trashcans).
