Kyle,
Very well put! I think we all know the feeling...the shaky hands, the butterflys....all normal!!!! And yeah, it's kind of a relief when the battery finally dies...lol..
As you get more flights in, the shaky hands, the butterflys will start to fade...and then as you get better, and accomplish small goals, like being able to hold a hover in one place for a while...the feeling of accomplishment is tremendous...
Flying an RC Helicopter is no small feat....I've talked to a real heli pilot, and he said that RC helis are much harder than the real thing..[X(] A lot less at stake of course...but still...that's saying alot!
The great thing about this hobby is that no matter how good you get, there is always a next level....always a challenge.
Enjoy....soon you will be addicted, like all the rest of us on here!!
Glenn
