Nothin to be embarrassed about at all. If the guys there made you feel that way, they don't understand what this hobby is all about.

I crashed my trainer trying to come out from being inverted. The weird thing is, after having rebuilt it, the thing flies 3x better than it did before. I built it from a kit, and most probably built it crooked. It probably crashed just right to straighten itself out. Thats the theory at the club anyway.

In any event, as it sounds like you understand, these things happen and are all part of this addiction. Keep your head up, try and learn something from from the crash, rebuild and get back out there. No harm, no foul.
