[&o] well i was doing se well. 40 or so flights. but i guess the rookie bug will still come out and grab ya. was comming in for a landing and the plane was going to be a little long in the landing. it was early in the am on saturday. so i decided to power up and come around for another try. as the plane lifted it banked to the right. just so happens the sun was comming up just to the right of the runway. lost the plane in the sun. duh!!! the next sound i heard was a thud. split wing in half and cracked the leading edge of one wing half. the receiver/battery tray was cracked. engine incased in mud. but its fixable my instructor said hell get it back together. might take him a couple of weeks. anyhow. since i had extra free time this weekend i was able to get my kaos put together. and hope to maiden it some time this week. take heed stay away from the sun.
