Well, it's offical, I am a nitro RC pilot!
It was an incredably beautiful afternoon today. Rained all morning but cleared up around noon! Got out to the field at about 2:00 and put it all togather.
My father (long time pilot) took it off and trimmed it out and then handed me the radio. After some tweeking we had a couple flights behind us. The old engine is not running just right. We narrowd it down to a tank problem I think.
Anyway we flew my Typhoon as well and after he saw me land it, he told me if Icould handle the landing on that I could handle the Eagle no problem.
We fired it back up and this time I took it off, made some practice approaches and landed it!!! I made about 8 or 10 touch-n-go's and then we put it away for the evening!
Man, it was great! Perfect weather, very slight breeze, good company, and a GREAT experiance! Isee why this hobby is SOaddictive!
Here are some pictures from today. Thanks for all the advice from you on here as well.
It really feels great to "Get My Wings"!
