TeachU2, thanks so much for that information for that is what verbatim what I was planning on doing for the first flight, build just enough airspeed for takeoff rotation, then fly about a foot or two from the ground, and pull the power and land. When I flew the ole' thunder tiger, I ALWAYS positioned myself as if I were in the cockpit. I have found that R/C aircraft are A lot like full scale airplanes, they really are...and that's why I love doing this, is because I get my "flight fix" since I can hardly afford to actually rent a 172 or even the 152 rather[]! I absolutely love flight, I have been flying for my private since I was around 13, and am now 20 years old(certified pilot for 2 years in August!!!)...and have always loved it, I started RC planes, after I finally got rid of my old T-Maxx. I flew the thunder tiger plane when I was around 15 years old, and it sat in Skip Stewart's (Aerobatic pilot if any of you may know him) attic for 2 years, until I finally retrieved it (which caused the warping) I flew it for another year or so. Just thought that I would share a little of my past, to shed light on my experience around aircraft.


P.S How do I check lateral balance?
