My 1st flight and crash
They opened up a new club by my house so after stopping several times on my harley and watching i got the bug to fly.I went out and bought a Avistar trainer. I put it together. Well I cranked it up and was taxing it back in forth in the yard. I got a little braver and applied more throttle and it took off. Man was I in a world of hurt the plane did loops was inverted and all over the place and it was steadly getting further away so i pulled back on the throttle to slow the rate of it flying away and the motor shut off. Well I lost all control of the plane and it crashed in a rice field nose first. it had some wing damage and a few scrapes. Well i am now a member of the club and i am training to fly

Congradulations on getting sucked into this exciting hobby! Sorry to hear about your plane though. Everyone will put one in eventually. You should be lucky you did it know so you don't feel stupid when you are really good at flying. You will have a good long wait before your next crash now. I haven't put one in yet so my time is coming...
