As it turns out, not every first flight attempt goes perfectly, but persistence, patience, and knowing when to take the model home to regroup and double check things before trying again. And so in this video, experience the highs and lows as we attempted the first flights with my B-58 Hustler. While not successful in getting the model airborne, there was much to learn from the day which provided direction for the next attempt. Ultimately, she will be getting a whole new set of wheels thanks to the quick and incredible work of RCCrafters.com who made the beautiful landing gear! Also, a big thank you to Brian Smith and John Pryor for their help with the various cameras!
