New RC flyer with FT Tutor

[TDWillard]

Hello to the group. I finished my FT Tutor last weekend and now have an hour of flying time on it. No crashes and just a few scuffs from a ground loop. This is the first RC model that I have constructed, installed radio gear in, set up and flown by myself. Previously I had flown a couple of small RTF park models. The Tutor has proved to be a great building experience and has given my confidence a major boost. I built this to fly 3ch, but have the turbo wing as I plan to fly 4ch later.

Also, thanks to Josh and all the Flite Test Crew for making this hobby accessible for new folks. I always thought that I would have to break the bank to fly RC. You have proven that this is not true. Making kits like these, publishing content and providing the forum are much appreciated.

And that's my first post.

It sounds like you are well and truly hooked! Welcome to the addiction. I predict that you will soon have enough planes to over fill whatever available space you have.
