I had one flying lesson in a 172 Cessna. That was fun, however I did not take off, nor land the plane. I had the opportunity to land it, but
elected not to and asked the instructor to land it. Brought it around to final, then chickened out. I mean, it was only a 1 hour lesson.
I've flown a lot of RC stuff, but this was somewhat different.
Oh yeah - I've crashed a lot of RC planes, too, almost every one I ever built and some of them, a couple times.




Well it was my first flight. I WAS offered to take it off, was quite simple. Just hold the plane straight, and ease slowly on the "accelerator". Slowly lift. All done by instruction of course.

I think landing is more dangerous.

I have taken off and landed plenty of WW1 biplanes in Age of Aces or some such WW1 air battle computer game. Even performed the Ludendorf manoeuvres to take out Britischer aircraft. The pity of the game was I could not machine gun trenches! Fun games flying WW1 biplanes but does not have the wind in one's hair.
