Thanks for the advise guys! I haven't checked back here in a few days, and I guess I missed the last two posts until now. I appreciate your feedback!

Earlier tonight, I went out to maiden my Cessna. Not only was this my first flight with this particular plane, but this was my first flight with a plane. Here you can have a view at part of my flight (I didn't get it all recorded). The soccer field we flew in was pretty bumpy as far as the ground goes, and it made for a bumpy take off and landing, but it worked out okay.

The second part of the video is a friend flying one of his planes. He came along to bail me out if I got into trouble with the plane. For the most part I'm quite pleased with the plane I got. It flies quite well and I didn't have any problems controlling it. So for my first taste at flying planes, I'm quite happy, and hope that my experience continues to be a positive and enjoyable one!
