Hi,
This is my first flight experience ever. The plane is my own design & scratch build.
It was my first attempt & it was a success..)
I was so happy to see my own designed, scratch built plane could fly.
Even though it could fly, there were some mistakes from my side such as :
The CG was not right. It was very tail heavy and was looping up.
It probably needed heavier battery in front.
I chose a wrong day & wrong time to fly. It was extremely windy & was about to rain. Just after my plane's unscheduled landing.. it started raining.
But I was so excited, I neglected & flew my plane.
Also there is no proper flying field near me. Hence I had no option but to fly in that place which was not really suitable for flying.
At the time of launch, I was so nervous, literally shaking.. I raised the throttle up to half & launched it.
Wow..Next moment I couldn't believe that my plane took off & could fly.
It was so nice to hear claps from my wife standing besides me. Because she had been teasing me that my plane can't fly..)
Some positives from this flight are -
My design was very good because, plane crashed twice & nothing happened to it. No repairs needed & I launched it three times.
I got to know how plane behaves if cg is not right.
I got expo & end points spot on.
So overall, this was a very nice & learning experience of first flight. Mix of nervousness, Happiness & joy all at once.
Happy Flying..)
