Thought I was doing pretty good. Have been flying a Super Sportster solo for about a month. Had a bad landing last time out and had to replace landing gear and repair tail section. Also took out my Saito 72 (went into Funtana, I don't fly it!) and put in a brand new OS 70. Broke in the engine, had a rough couple of laps and made some adjusments to expo (was flying on 66% dual rates).
Well, I lost it!! Big crash, never to be found again. New engine, new landing gear and lots of time - gone. Those around me said I needed to gain altitude, problem was more throttle I gave it, the less control I had. Half throttle resulted in the nose dropping - and then the circle repeats itself.
It flew nothing like it did before the engine change, etc. Could it have been too nose heavy & powerful, making it next to impossible for an 'advanced' begiiner to deal with it??
I'm not sure when I'll be ready to do this again
