| Further Description/Back Story |
I was given this aircraft as a basic airframe with flaps and ailerons. I had some help from my dad and the local hobby shop owner with adding electronics. The first flight was somewhat breezy, so I had an experienced pilot take it up and trim it, then I flew it around to get the feel and then landed. |
