Default RE: Who else has failed on their first build?

In all my years in the hobby, I have had a couple models not come out like I thought.  One reason or another, and after several attempts to correct the issue, just had to make em a hangar queen.   Its part of the hobby, and I enjoy trying to figure out issues that arise.  <div>
</div><div>If it makes a person give up that easy, this hobby is truly not going to fulfill your wants or needs.  If a person cannot fully accept that when they go out to fly, they may come back with a re-kitted plane, then that too is an indication this is not a hobby for you.</div><div>
</div><div>We had one such member in the club a few years back, he built a Pete n Poke, and even after several us asked if he balanced it, he never truly gave an answer, we also recommended he redo a couple of linkages.  Never the less, he took it up for its maiden, where it continued to to a loop right after take off, planting the new motor into the dirt. He threw his Tx in a tantrum... left and never saw him again. </div><div>
