Guys,
I wanna share with you the moments of my first flight with my ME-109, build from an EPP Kit from KIWI RC (manufactured by BUDGET RC). Its a noob flight with full of crashes all over.
Am grateful to my friends Chris Jackson, Mathew Wellington(NewZealand), Mark livingstone and Laine Stahr (US) who helped me a lot to take-off.
I need ya all suggestions to a better flight!

You only need one thing, which is to spend a few hours on a simulator.

Thanx Anwar, I have FMS and loaded the ME-109 and spent days on it. But it failed me in the real field. I think I gotta go with a noob trainer like NutBall on the field first!
Forgot to mention dual rates. Reduce the throws on your plane using dual rates function on your radio, and it will be more manageable.

Dual rates! I ve heard about them. I think the control surfaces move less or more after activating the dual rates, right? Think to give my radio's manual a reading.
Anwar, Can you tell me in simple way that what does a dual rate mean and what does it do?
Can you go through this, and if you feel you still have questions, please feel totally free to ask.

I got it Anwar I got it. But in my flight, I trimmed the 'End Point' of the sticks in my radio to reduce the throws of the ails. I think its wrong now, better gotta go to 'Dual rates' and 'Expo'! I got it!
Another thing I noticed is that you have to "plan your route a bit in your mind". I see that you are letting the plane fly too far away from you.
Flying at a lower throttle will also help.
