Everyone thinks they glide to the ground, that's not always the case. Sometimes you have to fly to the ground, especially on windy days!

I first flew Chris's plane after nothing for 17 years. It was a little sketchy at first, but dad can do anything! After a few minutes, we were doing touch and goes!

Man it won't be that bad. The sim is a pretty good instructor. It helps with the basics. It don't get the adrenaline flowing like the real thing though!

That kadet will hang in the air, it should fly nice once trimmed. Plus the model looked like it had some flight time on it. That means it probably was flown a decent amount = fun to fly. think.gif

Yesterday, marty came by the shop while I was flying the 330s, doing 3d.....he claimed the sim couldn't be right-it looked too easy. after letting him and 3 others try the trainer, and they crashed probably 30 planes...
I switched marty over to the 330s, and let him try. THAT was funny....I grabbed the tx from him, took off, and did some really impressive moves for them, and gained respect. Marty flipped out, and he's coming to cheer me on.

Just sayin.

i think with the time you have spent on the sim,  ya'll do ok.

my first time i spent no time on the sim.....  after that mishap,  i started using the sim,  and it made a lot of difference,  the guy that help me said " shit you know how to fly"

My son ran his new Traxxis stampede into a brick mailbox and broke the front left wheel off. It's hanging on by the tie rod. Man, my kid was crying his eyes out yesterday when he came in and told me. Feel sorry for the boy. We will get it fixed soon.

It won't be long and, you'll be looking for a sportier plane.  My second plane was a four star forty.  I think it was made by Sig.  A P51 maybe a little much for a 2nd plane but hey, you obviously have some mad skills!  BTW, 4 strokes kick ass!  :grin:
