Me on the other hand, shouldn't have gone flying today!
Way too much wind! I overestimated my flying skills and the planes ability to handle wind, on it's maiden flight! Do'h!

Bad decision from my side, so now I gotta stay in when the weather is nice to glue this thing back together [:@]

Perfect conditions for my glider though [8D]
Sorry about your crash, Same thing happened to the PT 19.. A gust of wind and lack of flying skill! But, it is cool and challenging to get them flying again. My wing wasn't damaged in the crash, but going to recover it so that it looks as good as the rest. Fuselage was really tricky to cover, I used one entire sheet of covering. The rear part angles were really tricky. I ended up having to make a seem on the right side just between the cock pits. If I had it to do over, I think I would have added the covering in sections from the bottom up and from the rear forward. None the less it turned out ok. Next crash I'll recover it in sections It's bound to happne sooner or later!! HAHA!
