Hi Pete.

I agree with David. The plane will develop a scary sink rate with full flaps and no power. If you keep the airspeed up, however, it is easy to fly to the ground. Not sure where you fly, but having a longer runway will be helpful on your first few flights.

Also, the control surfaces are very effective, so you might want to have different combos of DRs set up to find the settings that suit your flying style.

I would leave enough time on your first flight to shoot several approaches ... this will be hard as you will be having so much fun flying it around.

Good luck!
