So sorry to see that happen, it came out very well. Your not the only one to crash a new plane I have planted a few.
The worst one was when I spent unknown hours building a Bipe called the Krier Kraft from plans drawn by Gordon Whitehead in the UK. It was such a good plane I was going to use it in IMAC. I had put the plane away for the day when some club members wanted to see it fly. I was showing off and decided to come in slow and low side slipping onto the runway. I went too slow and was too low and the plane went into a violent snap roll and nothing I could do would bring it out of that spinning roll. It hit the water in a canal and didn't look too bad. Until I got it out of the water, every thing made of wood was broken.
Stuff happens and you did a good job on the plane. The next one will be even better.
