First Flight !!!
I am excited about it... what a blast! Why do so many seem to think that this is "an exception"? I, by no means have near as much time in this hobby as 99% of the the people here so I may be a little off on this, but I think that it IS possible for anyone to have as good, or a better first experiance at flying. I think part of what made me (and is still) so excited about flying is the way I was introduced to flying by my instructor.
And as far as landing goes, that was not the most intimidating part of the flight. My instructor had me look at the tx while HE watched the plane, telling me what direction to guide the aircraft. It was very difficult not to even glance at the plane. However by watching my stick movements for only a min or two, I was able to tell how much input was needed to fly smootly, and it did help my flying greatly. Did anyone else try this while learning or better yet do any of you instructors try this? All I can say is it helped me so maybe it will help some other beginners out there.
Hats off to all the instructors out there, they are the ones who really do help to determine if one will grow to love this hobby, or quit premature. I know Im here to stay.
Also same goes to the vast amount of info found right here on RCU, I have already learned so much from all your knowledge.
Thanks
