Lurker in Shadows
I’ve had my TinyTrainer built now for over a year, but life, weather, and lack of flying space have all conspired to keep me grounded. Today, everything fell into line for my first flight. It was gloriously tragic. I was optimistic and only brought one bag of extra props b/c “the Joshes, Alex, etc etc” made it look so easy. Five ground-snapped props later, I’m stress giggling as the plane once more screams into the sky, before eating Bermuda grass. I believe the root fault is my case of “Lt. McSpazzStix fingers” that don’t understand small control movements, just snapping from one extreme setting to the next. I’ve since dialed down my control throws, but since I was out of props, I’ll have to wait until next time to try once more.
The plane itself is solid, and aside from grass stains, looks about as good as before my fumble-fingered flights of terror.
I’ve waited over 35 years for a chance to fly my own r/c plane. For someone raised a Po Redneck from the farmlands, the present availability of electronics/parts to fly foam board planes is just proof that we live in the G*****n future.
Thank you Flitetest for not letting this childhood dream die like my others!
