RE: First Maiden Flight
G'day Congratulations to your Maiden Maiden. Like you I always used to ask others to maiden my new planes. My first two clubs flew Mode 1 and so I am a Mode 1 flier. But when I had to change recently to a new club I found I was in a sea of Mode 2 fliers and if I wanted new planes tested, it was going to be up to me.
I was further prompted to fly my own planes when a couple were crashed by the test pilots and I reckoned that if anyone were going to crash my new planes, it might as well be me.
