I set a flight plan and stuck to it, no crazy stunts just a large square with four left turns and four straight runs. I feel so much better now and I can't wait for my MAAC # to come in the mail so I can fly at the field. YEAH HOOOOO.

One thing to keep in your mind as you head out to fly with your pride and joy.
The minute the wheels leave the ground the first time, all the time and money you spent on the plane is gone . I had a plane I took 6 months to rebuild and $1000 invested in parts crash 4 minutes into the maiden flight. $250 a minute.

This is why this hobby is exciting. Your plane could last 10 seconds or 30 years. Every flight after the maiden is a bonus
