When I first started, I had someone else take the plane up, trim it in, and give me some advise on how the plane handled. For the last couple of years (I started about 3 years ago), some of the most nervous and rewarding times have been putting the plane in the air myself. I had one last year that was such a handful that I had to get a friend to adjust the trims while I tried to keep it in the air, but I haven't lost one on a maiden in quite a while.
