Thanks all for the advice. Next time I'm out at the airpatch I'll do a couple of quick back-to-backs. Usually we stand around and jawbone awhile between flights, or watch another pilot do his "tricks". Stands to reason this is probably why I stand there like a dork while hearing comments like, "Well, are you gonna fly it or just stand there screwing up your courage!"
PS, I'm the only Phantom pilot in a bunch of RC airplane pilots with a scattering of other quads. Also, being the only female, I get razzed a lot, LOL
