I have no fear of flying my spark. I've even gotten over my anxiety of flying on the lake I frequent.
Pre-flight checks are your best defense against unwanted/undesired events during flight. Even then you may face in-flight circumstances which will cause you stress. Practice and self-training will help you prepare for unexpected in-flight events.
Reading the manual is important (read it twice), but then go out and practice everything. Start simple, build up what you practice as you gain confidence. Practice the various "Return to home" functions, practice "aborting" return to home maneuvers. Practice landing. Practice "obstacle avoidance" carefully so that you gain confidence in this capability. After a few hours of flight, in a wide open space, practice sport mode.
Also, follow your local regulations. There is occasional debate on the merits of these regulations, but for now it's safe to say that if you stay within your regulations, you'll have eliminated many "negative" possibilities and risks. |
