Default RE: Just getting started...

Thanks for all the nice feedback guys. Since that maiden flight, I've been out a few more times, flying several packs without incident. One particular day, Sunday, was pretty windy, so I got to practice flying in the wind. The light plane gets blown about a bit, until you have to pour the throttle on to get it to fly back up wind, but it did alright. I'm getting a bit smoother on the controls... I'm finding you don't need to react as hard or as quick with the plane as you do with the helis... at least it seems more relaxed.

So while I'm messing about with the Cessna while waiting for calm days to fly the helis, I've also started to build an Edge 540 Foamy out of depron to mess about with. It'll be a while before I get it all put together, but it should be fun. I've been messing about with the 300 in G3.5 and I can do a few tricks, but nothing too special yet.

All-in-all, I'm glad that I tried the planes... it seems like quite a bit of fun!
