Default RE: Sig Kadet JR first flight

And your goals for your first flight.. get that engine running RIGHT, you don't want a deadstick on your first flight.... once you've got that just get comfortable taxiing the plane and keeping it tracking straight down the runway.... Once you've got that down... throttle up easy and get to take off speed and this plane with it's dehiedral and high lift should take off pretty much by itself, get up atleast 3 mistakes high and try a few easy turns, fly a few circuits, try a few low passes to get used to where you need to lower your throttle for landings... then finally go ahead and try a landing... you can cut the throttle on these trainers and just glide them in, don't let it stall but right at the ground flair a bit and it should settle right on down..

hope all this helps ya out and hey try and get some pictures of the plane and post the on here.... we always like pictures on RCU!
I'm only 19 years old by the way and have 5 planes... .60 Size Hangar 9 Miss America, Hobbico Avistar (get this plane next! Awesome plane and very fun for a "trainer") Hangar 9 Twist .46, Brushless Slo-V (first airplane! Converted to brushless it's insane.. also a good choice to get one of these little park flyers to help you out on your skills when you can't get the the field) and I have a little ParkZone Vapor to play around in the house... gotta get a lot more planes I used to have a lot more but sold some off..
