Yeah I was checking out some video yesterday, it does look really cool! I may have to snag one of those.
Oh, the maiden may have to be delayed. I am heading over to that new club I joined in Wenatchee, WA (couple hour drive) this weekend and it turns out it's the Apple Blossom Festival and they have a Fly In event all weekend so it will likely be too crowded for a maiden. I'll be too nervous to maiden in front of a lot of people...I'll still bring it with me just in case.
I'm also not opposed to letting an expert with experience flying this model maiden her, trim it out, etc, if the opportunity presents itself.My YouTube RC videos:

Thanks, yeah I am on the road in a few minutes. Can I ask where your throws are at? It's been a while since my last one and I used the radio settings from my last one...Just curious.My YouTube RC videos:

Well the maiden never happened. First of all, the club is gorgeous. Plenty of room to fly any model you can think of, including giant scale turbines. I chickened out due to a few factors. One, there was more folks there than I am comfortable maidening this heavy model in front of, two it was really windy most of the time (which didn't seem to bother anyone but me, lol...They are used to flying in the wind) and three, the prevailing winds were left to right, and while I can fly clockwise, I am definitely a counter-clockwise flyer. I should be as comfortable flying clockwise but I've been flying counter-clockwise for so many years it seems foreign to me, and I certainly don't wish to fly clockwise on a maiden with a big, heavy jet.
The good news is she came home in the same condition I brought her in!
Even with all the beautiful models I saw over the weekend, mine still garned plenty of attention. She's is a looker no doubt.
I'm going to try again on a weekday where there's no real crowds and see if I can finagle a counter-clockwise takeoff and landing. Stay tuned!

I totally agree. I really do need to brush up on my CW flying. It’s really all in my head as much as a muscle memory thing. I also don’t regret not maidening because you are right, if you don’t feel totally confident, bad things can and do happen.
There were just too many factors that made me feel uncomfortable enough to justify putting her back in the car unscathed.
I’ll get the RC sim out and brush up on those CW stick skills.

Haha I know what you mean DCORSAIR. I still have mine (number 4 I think?) but it’s at a buddy’s house. His wife was going to paint it Arctic Camo for me. And then I moved out of state and now I don’t know what to do. The club here is a bumpy crappy grass field. I hate to sell it but not sure what my options are?!
