First flight!!

[mark lane]

I guess it all starts feeling natural fairly quickly which gives you the drive to attempt new things.

I would like to see the summer out with flying confident, neat circuits with loops and rolls without bricking it..... and safely of course!

I can do this comfortably on phoenix with the 600 but realise realtime will be a whole new barn dance!!!!

Well Mark, the weather looks quite good at the moment for thursday.
I will have to see if i can make it.

Go for it mate, just remember to hold the starter with both hands to keep the shaft straight.
If you have any issues starting, give me a bell.

Actually - what you should do is hold the head (blade grip and root of blade area) with one hand while starting it with the other hand - just in case the throttle isn't closed and the head starts spinning fast when the engine revs up!

Safety first guys!
Cheers,
Rob
