Do not misunderstand ... I had a great time! I am sort of pumped to have swallowed my 'trepidation' and flown the 2ch plane. No one laughed! The guys in the clubs I belong to (SWSA and HSS) really encourage newbies like me to just fly and let the balsa fall where it may. I am not at all worried. Someday I'll be mediocre instead of terrible. Then, someday I'll be almost good. It a hobby... I only flew my first R/C plane in 25 years, a GWS Slow Stick, in August of last year. I am still technically 'dumb thumbed'. I am looking _forward_ to the next contest, and the next one at the Harbor Soaring Society as well. I seem to fly better at their site (or maybe it just at any non-contest! LOL!). It's just weird/funny... I had one flight today that exceed all three contest flights last week... but it was not a contest... go figure??? Like the previous guy said, we in SoCal are lucky.
