LAST WEEKEND I WAS FLYING MY AVISTAR. I JUST LEARNED HOW TO LAND THE PLANE. WELL I GOT TO THE FIELD BEFORE MY INSTRUCTOR AND STARTED FLYING. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE WASN'T STANDING NEXT TO ME. I WAS ALL ALONE. AFTER MY SECOND FLIGHT I LOST MY RADIO SIGNAL AND THE PLANE TOOK A DIVE FOR THE DIRT. I GOT LUCKY AND I GOT MY SIGNAL BACK AND PULLED OUT OF IT. WELL ON MY THRID FLIGHT MY INSTRUCTED HAD SHOWED UP. I STARTED TO GET A LITTLE TO BRAVE AND TRIED TO FLY INVERTED ABOUT 20 FEET OFF THE GROUND. WELL INSTEAD OF USING THE ELEVATOR I GOT THE DUMB THUMBS AND PREESED OF THE THROTTLE INSTEAD. THE PLANE HIT THE GROUND HARD, UPSIDE DOWN. IT WASN'T A TOTAL DISASTER. I WAS ABLE TO REPAIR THE PLANE AND NOW I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE WEEKEND TO FLY AGAIN.

You fly your avistar inverted 20 feet of the ground???? I don't think it was dumb thumbs I think it was dumb something else LOL[&:] Atleast you could repair it. Congrats on learnign to fly. Now for the hard part. Figuring out how to buy all those shiny new planes.

Upside down @ 20', & you just soloed!! You are brave enough for sure, -- eventually you may be bright enough as well. 'Course it doesn't matter if you have lots of $$. I suspect that you are embarking on a highly eventfull RC career. [X(] Have fun.

Well, you got your first crash out of the way early!!

If you ain't crashing, you ain't pushing the envelope - Mantra of RC - "I buy 'em, I build 'em, I crash 'em!"

Cheers!
