RE: Tips for first plane build
Well I met Adam at the field a little while ago, we finaly caught up to each other. I showed him the spad trainer, gave him a brief control lesson, got the buddie box dialed int and took it off. I gave him the sticks after 4 mistaked high and let him go, wow,he did great. then deadstick, out of fuel. landed it, prepped it and up and away, he flew like he had been flying for months, so we started the approches, he did great. I could tell he is a natural. on the 3rd flight, he was doing touch and goes. now he is taking off, flying around very good, (Im getting a little jeolous, LOL) and landing. Wow. he was flying the whole time on the box. a real natural pilot. I probably could have signd his solo, I want him to get on it again a couple of more flights, deadstick and startup procedues.
