Well yesterday was the day for my Avistar.
My instructor said i did a very good job flying with him the last 2 days (less than 30 min of flying time with him). Than he said: you can go ahead and fly by your own. Since i didn't had time I could only go later to a big sport park with lots of soccer fields. Got there and so I finally started the plane and drove it to the starting position. And then full throtle and there she goes! Went up. And flew for about 10 min. Very nice! Did some acrobatics and then finally came in for a landing, almost picture perfect, only bounced once.
I am very happy with this plane and looking forward to more flying time!

Congratulations, I started on the Avistar and really like the plane. I still take it out to the field when I just want to fly easy with nothing in particular to try.

So...how many planes are on your list to get now?

Nik,
Congratulations, BUT PLEASE don't fly that (or any other) large plane at a park or soccer fields!! The danger of curious kids running around and getting hit is just too great!

I'm sure you would not want to be responsible for seriously injuring someone.

I know i always check the envoirment (You can see very far on that field) And make there are no persons playing around. The field is usally always empty when i fly.
