My Flight History

 I had my First Flight Finally ! It all happen on a great Sunday Morning on the 17th August 2008. Rudy had help me took off ..... i took over the control after some adjustment on my controller ... and for  3 mins or so... i crashed!!... Although my plane didn't make it back in one piece, but those 3 mins i had was enough to lighten me for all those stress at work i had during that week. I feel alive again. 

On 24th August 2008, i had my second flight. This time round, i had a full 10 minutes flight. It was so enjoyable. Must Thanks Rudy for taking off and landing for me.

On  31st August 2008. My third flight. i tried learning to take off. I had my worse clash ever! My Estarter were torn into two from the fuselage, my prop was broken and my landing gear came off. I recover the pieces and glue it all together in the field. In half an hour time ... i try to take off my plane again....it CLASHED! This time ... the wing broke into two, the aileron servo burnt . I remember sitting on my ground sheet looking at my Estarter...No one dare to talk to me then... i look over my shoulder and Teng ask if i need anything.... i replied "Anyone know where i could get myself a flight simulator?" 

On the 14th September. My Fourth Flight. After 1 week on the simulator, i though i feel more confident to take off. With Benson and John around, i took off once again. It flew and gain altitude slowly. Too slow that i realize my estarter had gone too far. i tried to bring it back .. but in vain... finally it clashed into a tree near a school. Phew... what a close one... can't imagine if i would clash onto any motorist on the street. Luckily my plane had not suffer too much damage .. in no time i was ready for my Fifth flight. This time round... it took off and gain altitude... i got hold of the control and was learning to fly a figure of 8.  

On the 16th September. My Sixth Flight. I brought my wife to the field for the first time... it was a bright sunny afternoon and rather windy.  The plane took off and flew... she was so surprise that it took off in just a few meters.... after few minutes of flying ... i 'm ready to attempt my first landing. With some struggle with the cross wind .. i finally landed the plane .. although not a perfect landing but i was glad it came down in one piece. So glad that my wife was there to witness my first Solo and complete flight.
