Today is my first day on the Flite Test forum. I'm pretty excited to be back into the hobby. Thirty years ago, I built my first balsa wood plane, and I experienced an awful crash within minutes of its maiden flight. I had forgotten to fiberglass the center section of the wing...I had no one to show me, and I simply didn't understand that part of the build. If crashing wasn't bad enough, I was even more devastated by the laughter of the RC Flying Club members who apparently thought my awful experience was pretty hilarious. It took me thirty years AND the Flite Test videos to muster the courage to try again. The guys at Flite Test are so encouraging and fun, they almost seem to make crashing appear enjoyable. I still don't have anyone to share the hobby with, but I refuse to jump back into a flying club environment. I'm starting a new build and smiling once again. I'm plan to stay with now no matter what.
