Hey. Had a bad day i guess. Was a beautiful day today in Iowa. 30deg. and no wind with the sun out full force. Thought I would go flying at the local ball park. Been itching every day since I started flying in Oct. I brought my Pt-40 trainer and my brand new sig se today. I took out the trainer first and flew that once. Had a shakey take-off but flew wonderfull and had a nice landing. So I thought i would try the new SE. Started her up and tuned it well. Running great. Taxxied around the field for a few min to get the feel of the plane. So I thought what the hell. Lets take her up. I throttled her up and away she went and the right when she was going to pick up the rear wheel hit something and brought the front end down to where the prop could hit the ground. So prop hits ground and rips whole front of fuselage off and the thrust of the impact smacked the left wing very hard shattering the whold l.e to pieces and the wing tip. Oh. even the whole tail assembly busted from the fuselage. this sux. I didn't get mad. Just reminded myself this is part of the hobby. ***** happens. but 75 bux for the kit down the drain.. I can repair most anything. but i'm going to call this totalled. maybe a sig four star next or another s.e. who knows. i have a hog bipe, super sport and a suhkoi for backups. plus my trainer..

I was going to go home after that but it was so nice. I ran 2 more tanks of fuel thru my trainer. No problem with that baby. anyone have a fuse and left wing for a s/e. jk.. later
