Default RE: Experienced flyer poll

My trainer was smashed in a brilliant puff of monokote. It was a Pilot PT-40 I think. A high wing trainer with a bolt-on wing. I initiated a roll, it nosed down while inverted and I pulled instead of pushed on the elevator. Whopps!!!

It was a tough bird though. I taught myself how to fly on it, repaired the wing several times and it still flew fine. Just not very aerobatic.
