Default The day to remember.......

Today, I decided to fly my Avistar trainer, hoping to get in the air. So, I arrive at the field all set to go.


We start it up, and it gets airbone for the first time!
I did a nice loop around the field with a perfect landing

Timed Flight 5 mins.

But that is the first flight,


On the second flight, it was the same as the first, this time though the engine died inflight

But, I glied it perfectly for a perfect landing

Then, the third flight

As I was about to get ready to start the plane, my sister, cousin, and mom, arrive at the field, just like we planned.

So I start the plane and begin flying around the field, on one pass by though, my sister threw a tenis ball right at the plane,

CLUNCK!

I steadied her out and decided to land to talk to my sister, so I start bring the bird in.

But, my cousin (2 years old, fatherless sadly ) comes running by me with my sister , I yell at her to get out of the way and jerk the plane left wing down.

Well, the wing hit the ground and did a pulverising nose dive. I scream at my sister ( ) who just starts histaricaly crying.

Well, what a day! Two good flights then totally carnage! Fixable though so that is good.
