Default First take offs and a landing!

Well, yesterday I maidened my LT-40 and today I took off five times and landed once - with the buddy box of course! Everything worked out well! I didn't capture it on video though but maybe tomorrow.

Awsome Jim, keep up the good work! Keep burning fuel with the buddy cord and next thing you know you will be free to fly any day, any time, no instructor needed! It's a great feeling and a great freedom

Congratulations!!!!!!! You're ON YOUR WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to have my Falcon checked out (mechanically and setup-wise) this weekend and get it airborne. the guy who's helping me has been flying for 26 years and he's already BEGGED me not to get "ants in my pants" and try to spin it up without him! I trust him implicitly on these matters (he flies a 109" giant scale P-51D) so if he says "wait until I can help you", that's EXACTLY what I'm going to do! I know that IF it can be put up and landed safely by ANYONE, HE IS THE ONE WHO CAN DO IT!

Again, Congratulations! I can't WAIT to get the big Falcon up in the air! (but I'm not impatient enough to attempt it myself!)

You did the smart thing and Buddy-Boxed it ; now you know for SURE that "THE PLANE CAN FLY" ; the $65000 question is now "CAN YOU FLY THE PLANE?"

Baby steps !!!!!!
