RE: Question on Maiden flights?
I dont take pictures, wear the same underwear that I have always worn for the last maidens (not washing it of course), dont shave, have my lucky rabits foot in my pocket, break a stick of balsa above the airplane (makes the rc Gods happy) sacrifice a live chicken and eat a bowl of lucky charms before I head to the air field. Also slice open your finger and put a drop of blood somewhere inside the plane when you have finished building it.
All kidding aside... Take lots of pictures before durring and after.. My daughter helps me with my planes so I try to take her when I can. Pack some drinks and snacks for after.. and I enjoy a nice cigar when I complet a succesfull maiden..
