My first real event was Birmingham earlier this year. I was probably at the stage you are at right now. I could just barely do flips. I was able to do some big air. Stall turns and such. But no backwards flight or inverted.
I just went ahead and jumped in. It is intimidating at first flying behind the likes of Matt, Bobby, Bert and others but everyone was supportive. That is the great thing about this hobby!
I had just purchased my first Synergy and my first nitro just a few weeks earlier. It was a used N5. It flew well but had some mechanical issues. Fortunately I was able to hook up with the Synergy team. My bird received some expert troubleshooting and my problems were solved. That was the hook so to speak and I am now the proud owner of an E6, E7 and hopefully an E5 soon. I don't have the N5 any more. Just don't like messing with nitro....
Any way I think you will be impressed when you meet the Matt, Amy and the team.
This will also be my first IRCHA! Look me up...
Cheers
