For newer pilots, check your Dual Rate for low rates if that's what you really want to start out at (first flight of the day for instance). I did not and, with a combination of strong gusty winds above the tree line, I ended up with a pile of scrap balsa and a quick ride home. My mistake started with not assigning the same percentage for both low and high rates (basically disabling the dual rate function) until I was ready for high/low rate functions. I was not ready for high rates but it was in high rates. The flight did not last long, mainly because I was confusing the strong gusty winds (partial contributor) with my over-correcting movements on the control sticks. Pilot error.. no excuse sir! Rebuild and remember.
