Still waiting for my first flight ever. I have three planes built or mostly built in my first week into the hobby. I built a twin sparrow first because I thought it looked cool. ( It glides nice in the yard when tossed) But decided to purchase the motors for a power pack "a" and "b" sized plane first since I figured it would be more versatile. So I built a simple cub. It was ready to fly. I balanced it set up my rates, everything. Then I weighed it. It is heavy. Still flyable by my calculations but at the end of the b motors envelope I think, and would likely not be the best thing for a first flight .
So staring at a windless sunny day on an open field in November. I did not fly. I may retire the cub having never flown it. I revieved in the mail some flite test foam and was shocked at how much lighter it is than what I had used from a craft store. So I'll rebuild. That is a lot of the fun anyway. With rain coming for next weekend I'll have plenty of time for the dr1, mini speedster, and scout I have started cutting out. So while I try not too look outside at my missed opportunity I'll turn up the music and enjoy the building.
