Default RE: Made my first landing

I really didnt think i was ready to land but he said I was able to. He talked me through everything. It was such a great feeling.

I sorta fly a helicopter. I have a raptor 30v2 but really only hover it around, not alot of actually flying it. But I think that helped me a little.

Im still going to be on the cord for a while I think but what should I expesct to be doing next? Touch and goes? Or is there anything else I would be really trying for or is it just keep doing the stick time?>

The days before I flew, I really concentrated on landing on my sim......I dont exactley know what to set for my next goal. Granted my landings were not the smoothest I have seen. A little bounce on one but I didnt lose it. I probably should keep at the landings to smooth them out.


But what a feeling when you start the decent and your banking that last corner comming in for the runway. seeing it come down so smooth, engine idleing and slowly gliding in...then the wind shoves the tail out to the side, I start to panic but realize the rudder is my friend hehe. I have to stop and giggle after every touchdown...no matter if its me or another pilot LOL.

You guys here have been a great help and ispiration to me and Im sure alot of others.

I have my next plane already...Bought it first but realized that it was not a starter plane. Its a midwing plane....I didnt have the info then to know any better. Then came RCU! Thanks!
