I was finally able to get out to a field tonight to fly my new Superstar 40. A club member met me there and helped to get the plane set up properly and give me some pointers. After spending some time trimmimng the motor (I had run it in previously) and checking the radio etc, Itaxied out to the runway and throttled up!

The plane took off pretty easy and I flew it around in an oval for a while, trimming it out and getting a feel for it. Then I did a couple loops, stall turns, Immelmans and rolls that I learned from flying electric and using the sim. The Superstar 40 handles very well, I was impressed.

When Ilined up for a landing it came in pretty fast, and the gear bounced like a spring! I bounced over the runway and rolled it into the edge of a wheet field, but no real harm...a couple small tears in the wing covering. I had to straighten the front gear when I got home, but all in all a successful maiden flight!!
