Congratulations! Its a great feeling Sorry about the crash, but it does happen. Unfortunately over the weekend I nosedived my Donald 4 Seaplane into the ice (frozen lake). I lost my rudder & lost control Of course it didn't crash in the 4 feet of snow on the banks, had to be right in the middle of the lake where there was just solid ice, no snow.
Anyway, keep up the great work. Be safe & enjoy
