Default Real Flight G2

I purchased a rc plane in the begginning of last winter and since I live in Canada I did not get to try it out ( it snows a lot here).I purchased G2 Real Flight because of all the positive things I heard and also because I would be able to practise during the long winter months on the simulaltor. Now this spring I enrolled in a club and here we are my first lesson with a instructor. I arrived at the field at 7.00 A.M, I was so eager I was the first one there After a while I got bored so I started the engine on my trainer and decided to practise taxiing on the runway until the instructor would arrive.
After going up and down the runway a few times, my confidence must have been escalating because I found myself going faster and faster each pass I decided to make a last pass on the runway and I guess I went a little to fast this time beause the plane past right by me and jumped twenty feet into the air.
Natural instinct would be to cut the throttle and get the plane back down, but all the practicing I did on simulator told me to just
push full throttle and get altitude and we will worry about getting it down later when we catch our breath.
Luckily the plane did not need hardly any trimming 2 clicks of down elevator. I went around the field like a racetrack and brought back the plane and did a perfect three point landing.
I had just soloed, thanks to G2 there is now way I could have done what I just did otherwise.
