first time flying my new HobbyZone Aerobird 3

A local guru took me out for my first introduction to RC flying this morning. He brought along his Aerobird Xtreme (big honkin' plane), and I had my smaller but still formidable Aerobird 3.

I experienced no crashes, no damage, and three successful landings! I snagged some of our morning outing with my Treo 650P's built-in camera, producing the following videos (and a few others):

A perfectly good take-off...



Any landing you can dodge successfully, right...?



Juggling the camera during a hand launch...



A quick pre-flight check...
