well......tonight was going great at the field....i solo'ed for the first time, and was doinbg some sweet landings, take off's, and aerobatics with my semi-new trainer. i was going up on my third solo flight, and right before i was going to land, the wind really picked up. i(i hat to admit....but it WAS a pilot error)cut the throttle a little too early, and was gliding in OK with the wind, when a huge gust blew the plane straight down. i had full up elevator, and it was too late. i stalled it straight into the ground. will try to post pics soon, but the damage was minimal. i chipped a little piece of the fuelsalage off, and busted a few supports, but luckaly for me the only thing that broke on the wind was a busted aleiron. i am like already 2/3 done with the woodwork, just need to touch up a few things, get new aleiron, and cover the bad spots with monokote and i'll be flying again.....luckaly for me, the plane was a kit in the first place, so i know how to fix it.



p.s.....Minn. can i have an attaboy to Phil please...even though i dont deserve one!!!!AAAHHH[>:][>:]
