Update: We took it up in the wind (about 14mph steady) and she flew great!!! I needed some up throttle to take on the wind and what not but no problems! My uncle took off and landed for me because it got squirelly the closer we got to the ground. We had about 3 flights at 15 minuites each and had a BLAST.

I'm hooked for sure. He gave me a bunch of tips and told me to fly certain maneuvers and patterns and verified im OK to land solo if its not so windy. Ive had lots of simulator time and i fly strykers so i wouldnt say i have newbie thumbs but im no expert to say the least.

Im so excited to get back out and fuel her up on a calmer day and get some stick time again! nothing more satisfying then wiping oil off the side of a freshly landed aircraft
