Yup, tired of hearing about how I can't do it. :smile16:

At the current level, it'll be like 12 years before I get low wind nice day, someone with a buddy cord, 15 acres of balloons on the ground for airbags, etc...

My advice would be get some decent altitude, and set your trims so that it will stay level on it's own. That way it isn't wanting to do anything stupid all time. Once trimmed, you can get back to learning the basics. I recomend shooting approaches!

 

[duanehydro]

I've been throwing everything I can think of at the sim...trims way off, engine stalls, side winds...learned to trim it alone wile flying. I think I'll be ok, and if I crash, it'll give you guys something to rag me about for the next 6 months or so. Win-win.

 

[Patchman]

Crashing just makes you a better builder. Good skills to have in this hobby!

 

[duanehydro]

Now if someone wants to head this way to help, I'd buy em some supper, or better yet, cook for ya! think.gif

 

[KONA77]

i know what ya mean duane,  one of the reasons i lost interest in flying,  the pretty days are the days you can't fly......

shit the first time i said i can do it on my own.... i crashed....  so it's no biggy,  just means ya have to fix it

 

[Patchman]

Wish I wasn't working, and lived closer! I think you can do it. It also helps to get some altitude and learn at what speed it stalls. That's good to know for landing purposes!
