Hello Boys and Girls

I'm new here and starting flying again after a few years away from it. My husband taught me to fly with an old timer he helped me build but I was never particularly confident or at ease with flying. I went on to a "Star" trainer which we electrified but I lost the plot on takeoff after it fishtailed all over the place and I decked it. I decided I'd quit before I killed someone! and have spent the last couple of years learning to paint and airbrush.

I decided I'd like to give it another go but with some flight simulator training first this time to gain my confidence. We bought a simulator only about a week ago and I'm loving it. Hope it's not false confidence but I'm really keen to get back and give it a go in the real world again.

My husband builds and now has a cnc machine which makes building so much faster and more fun with everything fitting together perfectly. I'm really enjoying learning 3d cad drawing and am currently drawing up a plane which will become my "Sunday flier" for a while. It's a Citabria Pro fuse with a Mighty Barnstormer wing - pictures of an earlier model. All electric of course!

Anyway, just thought I'd say gidday and add to the women's RC world.

cheers
Patti
