First Solo
 
Well after three months of FMS I finally made it out to the field with some buddies and my parkzone T28, After a first very jittery flight on my buddies glow trainer (with buddy box) i relaxed and flew a second flight on the buddy box. Altho never landing it! I was told i should have no problem with the Trojan and they were amazed at how well the sim training worked!
So i plugged in the battery and away i went! I have to say this plane flies real similar to my buddys trainer, super stable and real good in the wind! I spent the rest of the battery landing and taking off sucsessfully! What a rush, they were all laughing at me, another victim of RC crack lol.
I just wanted to share my excitement and to prove sims work with the right plane and a little bit of instruction to get you over that first nervousness

Way to go!!!!! Now you'll have to spend all day at work on Monday explaining that silly grin on your face!!! But of course we all know what it's about !!! ;) Don't worry, it'll go away in about three weeks!!

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

She already refers to the plane as my beloved! she is so right! I could fit atleast 3 planes on her side of the bed if she was to leave!
