After 4 attempts, I final got my Aerobird to airborne for 1 full minute,
doing 4 circle. It end up on a tree. Was able to get it back,  but I'm happy
thanks to help on this group. Next time, I'll bring good sun glasses (learn
something today)

Flying down sun is a good idea, if you can manage it ;).

...personally I would have included the time spent in the tree as
"airborne"...I mean it IS just a matter of one's perception...

Nah,. he should be trippin' as well, then he'd see about 30 planes, all
