I want to apologize for the lack of sensitivity in certain responses. I can tell you most of us have been where you're at and actually know how you feel.

Please look at the damage carefully, often times a dismal carcass can be rebuilt. Please don't lose heart, this was just a learning experience.

We hope you find some help in learning. Often, clubs will be interested in helping you preserve your initial investment. If you cannot find help at a nearby club or with a neighbor who flies, then by all means ask for assistance here. There are certain things you can do and equipment you can select to improve your chances on the next try, if need be.

Best wishes,
Dave Olson
