Default RE: Second attempt....

Hey,
Thanks for your replies. I appreciate your concerns and understand the importance of having an instructor with me. I actually took my plane to a field today because it was just too nice out. The weather being perfect with no winds, i was taxxing my plane up and down the field when all of a sudden a gust of wind out of no where came and blew my plane right over. It was literaly in the air for a few seconds until it came down on its wings and of course snapping the prop. I didnt think twice after that. I loaded my plane back in to my car and took off. I'm just happy i didnt get the plane in the air, because if i did that would have been the end of it. I underestimated the importance of an instructor. I will just have to find someone with experience to take with me. Thanks for everyones advice.
