My first flight lasted about 15 to 20 seconds and I was headed straight down then I handed the controls back to Bill and he pulled it out of the death dive I had put it in and landed the LT. My rudder came lose but my plane is in one piece. The Saito 56 perred like a kitten, started easy as pie and sounded better that any plane there except for one the name started with an M and was a 1.36cc Futana airplane but at the end of the day mine sounded better than his because he nosed into the ground and another beginner flew his Alpha 40 into the trees it went in in one piece and came back in about 100 pieces. I still don't have my BUDDY BOX it'll be March 1st but I'm going back tommorrow and Bill's gonna bring his buddy box so I'll have a longer flight time tommorrow.

Good 'save'.....better luck on your next flights

Congratulations on your first flight!
Definitely get that buddy box. Taking your plane home in a sack is never a good end of the flying day.
Been there, done that, had to order more sacks.
My dad and I learned the hard way. Neither one of us could fly when we started out and destroyed a LOT of planes before we got it right. An experienced flyer to help is invaluable.
