my raptor 2nd maiden flight

[stuskimac]

well this is my second outdoor flight of my recently accuired raptor30, i find the size quite daunting, and keep getting sweaty palms when trying to fly it ! lol
my flying skills are very basic and not great i know, but you got to start somewhere. i only wish i could fly it as easily as i do on phoenix, confidence thing i think ?
thanks to all that recommended it and callum, it flys great, did find it too sluggish with expo though, so i took it off and i feel i have greater control and responses with none.

cheers stu.

Stick at it. By the time you get to your 7th or 8th maiden flight it wont seem to bad.

Nice one Stu. Stick with it (as I am doing).

Just one point tho, can you have a second maiden flight? Is that not like saying "the second time I lost my virginity"?

[stuskimac]

good point, thats a bit of a double negative isn't it ?

hoverings fine, don't need traing gear, i'm way past that, its just when in forward flight as it starts to go away i start to flap a bit ! keep thinking its not coming back, way to scared to go nose-in too !

its no probs on phoenix, no fear, its trying to transfer it onto the real thing, i know its a confidence thing. hopefully get some more flights in soon, if the bleeding weather will settle down !

cheers stu.
