Default First Solo

Oh yes oh yes i went solo

I went solo today all by my self no instructer even stood next to me bit twitchy and landed with the wind but a good flight none the less.
Have toned down the aileron rates so should be less twitchy for tommorows flight.

yey.

rclaser,
Great job on the solo. Now all you have to do is figure out how to get that silly grin off of your face!!!! Don't worry about it, I had the same smile for about 3 weeks after I soloed.

A solo flight is a great accomplishment and that wins you one genuine RCU ATTABOY (Suitable for framing, wrapping fish, or lining trashcans).

Hi,

I just bought Magister and will use an MVVS 6.5 engine.
I also want to add another aileron servo, so each aileron has one. The contorl would be much precise and aileron differentaition possible.
Do you have any photos of your modification ( flaps )?
How it flies with glow engine?

Thank you.
