When I fly I get so nervous my hands shake badly what do you guys do to settle down?

i bring out my trainer and fly around and relax..

Whatever plane I am flying I start with simple stuff. I fly the landing pattern a couple of times, followed by figure eights, then begin to work up by doing a few rolls, a loop, etc. I do the easy stuff till my thumbs are worked up. I also makes it a review session every time I take off. Usually do this with my first plane of the day and I only repeat it if I think I need it. I am usually much more comfortable after this.

I've got a 3 chanel old timer type plane that i bring out.

I flew a lot and got more confident.
Seriously, I've been at this for 8 years and flown quite a bit of stuff, but I still get nervous the first few flights of the season, and the first flights with a new plane.
Can you say knees knocking? :stupid:
Dennis-

Fly a whole lot and burn a whole lotta fuel until your confidence gets up OR build a SPAD. It is hard to hurt a SPAD and they fly just as well as any other balsa plane.

Two Stroke,

You didn't say if you were a beginner or if you were experienced.

I've only been flying a year, and I get nervous if there are a lot of planes flying or if I've had a problem like a bad landing/broken prop.

My solution is to not come to the field ready to fly.

I leave the batteries uncharged, so I have to go chat with everyone while they charge up.

That usually gives me time to settle down.
