If ya fly you are going to dump one in sooner or later......It is written LOL
whether its dumb thumbs, equipment failure or someone else running into your plane.
I'm thinking 90% of the crashes are dumb thumbs so be self forgiving.
seen it in this thread earlier, Two types of pilots, those that have crashed and those that WILL.
Dont get attached to a plane. If you have to save up 2 years to build your dream plane.....maybe yer getting in a little over your head. back it down a notch or two.
unexpected air/ground interfaces happen, pick up the pieces and move on. If you can't kick the depression, a new hobby is probably in order.
This hobby is supposed to be fun, not worry a guy to death because he might dent his pride and joy.
to be honest with ya the most fun i seem to have and the best flying i do are done with my old beater trash-around planes that i could care less if they crash or not. Makes me more confident and that really is the key.
