You never really stop shaking.. butterflys in the gut. Every time I go out, the first flight is always one of those. I just launch, orbit a while, do a few real basic maneuvers, and then, after a few minutes, I go for a landing.

Things seem to calm down after that first landing, ya know? But, you really never lose that. Some will say it goes away with experience, and confidence, but, it's always there, just a little bit. You never want to break your new plane.
