Default First time up in 15 years

Went to a fly-in up the road about a half hour to go watch, and got to talking with one of the guys there. He asked if i'd seen R/C before, and i told him I had flown them up until about 15 years ago when we lost our field and I moved on to other things. He had his buddy box system with him and offered to take me up with it. I of course accepted the invitation. The plane was an electric GSW Stearman. Not a hot rod by anymeans but deffinately fun. I deffinately wasn't as smooth as I had previously been, but after getting it off the ground and up about 30 feet he didn't take it over for the rest of the flight including the landing. It was overcast, and we were getting 5-10 mile per hour gusts. I have got to get back into this sport.
