Default RE: Any positive tips on self teaching on .40 trainer

Hi people. Back with the results.

Plane took off nicely, went up to 100' looped, rolled, flew inverted and sat down nicely.

Nah, only joking. Plane was tracking really badly on take-off, so whacked the throttle to full and pulled up. The plane got to about 5 feet off the ground and the engine cut. The plane dived back to the ground and broke the front wheel. I will fix and try again next week.
I have also got a Ripmax trainer with engine coming in the post. The engine has already been ran in and the plane is ARTF so chould hopefully have a better chance with this plane.

Could of been worse.

I'll keep you all posted.
