Well, I finally got a chance to try my LT-40 on my buddy box (after about a 6 month wait). Now I see why an instructor is so necessary. Last week another member took it up and got all of the trims sorted out, but I forgot about the trims on the buddy box. Anyway, Carl got that straightened out on the first flight last night. I got a chance to practive my dumb thumb routine. The plane was high enough so Carl could take over before the plane destroyed itself. I did learn a little - Like I need a lot of practice. Well, it was fun. One thing was missing - no butterflies - I guess that's what the buddybox is for. Can't wait till Tomorrow night to try again.
