Thank you all for the words of encouragement and sharing in my moment. I do believe it will take a while for my grin on the outside to go away, it will probably take much longer for the grin on the outside to go. I totally agree with the performance in the wind. Today I was flying in fairly calm wind with probably 4-6 kt gusts and the extra wind did make a big difference in the performance of the plane. I will say with this plane (as with all planes I would imagine) ensuring your plane is properly balanced can make a HUGE difference. I flew again later and the plane just kept wanting to put it's nose in the air even after full up elevator trim. After a nervous landing I double checked my CG and sure enough it was tail heavy. I slid the battery a little forward, checked the CG again, and was good to go. A friend of mine who has been flying for a while told me "a plane that is nose heavy will fly poorly. A plane that is tail heavy will fly once." I believe this and think I was a little lucky today.
