Thanks for all the condolences. Donations can be sent to..... Oh! just kidding. There wasn't enough time to pull it out of the spin. By the time I knew what was happening it was too late. Chalk it up to experience. Fortunately I had my U. Stick in the truck as well so I cleaned up the carnage and got right back up into the air. One of the instructors there said the same thing had happened to his 4*40. ........ I got on the Tower site and ordered a new one. I see that they have gone up to 149.00 but found a code for 20.00 off on another thread on the forum. I plugged that code in and got the 20.00 off. Yippie!! Another UCD build coming up. I learned some things on the last on to incorporate into the new one. Looking forward to getting out flying again.
