Yep - and unfortunately, not nearly as successful as yours.
I had been practically flying solo for several weeks prior to actually getting cleared officially. The next day I had the day off and took my Avistar out to enjoy my day off. Perfect weather - nice, easy take off - a little nervous, but manageable. So I flew about 5 min. of some basic circuits and simple aerobatics. Then I thouhgt I'd start working on introducing rudder control into the slow roll. Well, when you roll right and add right rudder instead of left, it introduces a pretty serious spin - and a novice pilit at only 3/4 of a mistake high is a recipe for disaster. However, I can say with complete confidence that I flew it all the way (in)to the ground. THe airframe was a total loss, but the engine and flight gear should be ready to fly in a replacement Avistar this afternoon.

The lesson learned is to FORCE yourself to resist any temptation to take too big of a step too early. And when you do step, make sure you have more than enough altitude.

If there is any truth to the addage about there being 2 type of pilots (those who have crashed and those who will crash), then at least I no longer have to worry about when the transition occurs!
