Default I'm totally hooked :)

Since I'm about 10 years old ( I'm 31 now ) I wanted to own an RC airplane but it was unafordable for me and seem quite complicated. This spring, I've start reading a lot here mainly in this section. I've learn quite a lot on motors set-up, radio, plane recommendation for a trainer and so many others things. I then start practicing on RFS G3.5 ( 1/2hr per day in the last 6 weeks ) and I was confortable. During this period, I got my first RC airplane !! ) I had a deal on a new H9 Solo Sport with an OS 0.40FX that I could refuse and I add to this a Futaba 6 EX 2.4Ghz.

Today, I went to my friend's RC airplane field and I was ready for my first fly. I did the takeoff myself but with a huge amount of stress Everything went fine and I had a tremendous amount of pleasure seeing my plane in the sky. It was soo nice. I left my friend doing a perfect landing and I was very happy. I'm really totally hook and I need to say thanks for all the good advice and recommendation we can read here. I'm going to do few more flight tomorrow

Thanks everyone,
Séb

I did 4 flight of 15-20 minutes today. The first flight of the day was my second flight and I was able to land it perfectly for my first "full" solo fly Then, I did a couple of touch and go in the second flight to reduce my stress on landing. My approach are now quite beautiful. I think all the merit goes to the practice on the simulator...what a great tool. And also the advice of my two friends. On the third fly we did a tandem my friend and I with his Nexstar. It was very nice to see both plane in the air. I've include two pictures. I really think it will be an expensive hobbie for me but we just have one life

By the way, this plane ( H9 Solo Sports ) is really a charm to pilot. It float in the air and is very easy and gentle to respond to my input. For the price, that is a really good deal.

Welcome to the insanity.

You have just found the one thing that will eliminate your worrying about what to do with your excess money when you're 41 0r 51 0r 61.

You won't have any.

Congrats!

Here at RCU we have a tradition of awarding an newly soloed fliers with an official "Attaboy" certificate, which is suitable for framing, lining trash cans or wrapping fish.
