Well as suggested on this forum because I do not have access to an instructor, I have ben practicing with my plane just running it up and down along the ground and getting used to the controls etc. Today I went that little bit further and let it lift off the ground once or twice and then killed the throttle and let it land again. But then on a thrid attempt a lifted the plane a bit to quick and it climbed a bit to high and before I knew it the plane was a few metres off the ground. Bad turned to worse as I got confused and pulled back on the elevator stick and pushed the throttle forward then realised and pulled it back. The plane climbed up stalled and then flipped over and crashed to the ground. From what I can see the spinner took the force of the crash which caused the firewall to break away from the fuselage. It could have been worse I suppose so Im lucky. I can put the firewall back into place and it fits in exactly where it was before, so should I just do this and epoxy it back in? Also do I really need to have a fully covered fuselage. There is some damage underneath behind the firewall but I was just going to put in some 10mm square peices of balsa across the fuselage for strentgh and leave it at that.
What do you think?
Regards,

Troy
