This morning, the weather decided to be nice, and I got a chance to fly my plane

I ended up not needing any of my spare parts during my flights.

I did have an "Oh shit, oh shit" moment though, on my first takeoff that wasn't a hand launch, I went to pull back on the elevator, and the next thing I knew it was flying inverted about 5 feet off the ground. It's a good thing this craft has power to spare, so I pushed the elevator stick all the way up, and ended back right side up. After that it was pretty much uneventful, just flying it around the park, doing some loops, tried to do some inverted flying, but the Slow Stick isn't really designed to do that, so I stopped doing that fairly quickly. The worst that happened is it nosed down on landing twice but that was because I didn't land it directly into the wind. (It wasn't a steady wind, so it was a bit difficult to judge)

Of course, now that I got some flight time, and want to do more, I'm going on vacation and don't have the space to take a plane with me
