Time
to fly.
That
first flight will certainly be memorable one. But for the properly
prepared student it will be a good memory. Otherwise it could be a
disaster.
There
are several important things that a new pilot should know both in his and
by automatic reaction. Aviators who teach others to become aviators long
ago realized the importance of rehearsal so the necessary reactions to a
few possible diversions from the norm happen with little thought. A good
instructor will make sure his charges are so equipped.

Brian Thivierge caught a
no-power forward and includes in it this GIF. Although this is generally
a bit more difficult than powered forwards, it has some benefit,
especially with flexible caged machines.

This animated
GIF shows consecutive frames of a forward launch.
