I crashed. My second solo flight

My trainer is no more.

I took off, made two turns and was flying a long leg. Tried to get my sunglasses from my pocket and instantly knew this was a dumb thing to do. Decided to forget the glasses and just fly. Glasses got snagged on my finger so I quickly looked down to throw them on the ground. Looked up and looked at someone elses plane. Realised my mistake but it was too late.

Plane in a million pieces A valuable lesson learned.

I feel like crap I ruined my trainer. Engine seems ok. I washed it water and a toothbrush. Removed the carb but there is no mud in there.. cleaned it out with a cotton bud. Filled the engine full of after run oil and stored it.

Going to throw caution to the wind and buy that Flair Super Chipmunk I have had my eye on.

I know I was dumb. I paid for it with my plane.
