First let me say, I'm glad you or somebody else didn't get hurt.
It's part of the game. You WILL lose a few. Try NOT to fly directly overhead for a while until you get to where you can "see" the plane , and know what it is doing at all times.
I didn't fly overhead on purpose. When it stalled/rolled, that's the way it went. If it had gone away from me, there's a 'chance' I could have saved it. My instructor was standing beside me but everything happened pretty fast, and I was turning trying to follow the plane, so he couldn't grab the stick and try to prevent the crash. We were the only ones at the field, and I'm thankful for that. The crash site was beyond where any of us park, but it would have been more scary if there were a lot of others around.
Maybe I did try the solo flight too soon. Once the plane is fixed I will really practice landings.
In the air I'm pretty good. I can do a loop, roll, immelman, split s, cuban 8, limited inverted flight, and a few other maneuvers that I can't think of the names. A few people in the club think it's wrong to learn any aerobatics before you can land on your own. Bill says he likes to teach the aerobatics for two reasons. It keeps training fun, and it puts the plane in a lot of attitudes that you'll get in (maybe not on purpose) once you're flying solo.
