Last Saturday I loaded up the car and headed out to Civic Center in San Rafael to have a fly session. Before I left I looked at my Flite Test Bloody Baron that is so nimble and quick that is scares me, and said what the heck and threw it in the car along with a 3 channel trainer and my 5" drone.
I was having a great time flying the self built, foam board, Tiny Trainer, 3 Channel when I dunked it in the creek. That took care of that plane for the day. So I thought what the heck and broke out the 4 channel plane and as a rookie, fully expected to crash it spectacularly!
Instead I had a great flight and burned though a couple packs flying it around. It felt great and was a real breakthrough! I may never go back to 3 CH again (well except for my micro slow stick). I credit some of the success to programming in a bit of rudder mix with the ailerons and the rest to just practice on the sticks.
Getting to this point has been quite a journey and a great learning experience. Thanks to all the guys at Aloft for thier help and advise, to RCdyi, Painless 360, and Flite Test for thier great videos as well as all the other Youtube creators that have inspired and taught me to get me to this point.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and happy flying to you all....

I think several of the locals will be up at the Slot this weekend for a 60" MOM glider race. Also, should be some fun going on at Tic. Sure has been great glider weather lately.
