Default RE: So there I was... (post your funny crash stories here)

I was just learning to fly a 4 channel , 40 powered plane and was shooting some touch and goes. On one of the "gos" the engine stumbled when I gave it full throttle and the plane ended up in a drainage ditch off the end of the runway. I collapsed the antenna and walked towards it, about 400 feet away. As I came upon the foot bridge to the ditch, my plane jumps up at full throttle and flies length wise with the ditch! I got control of it and got the antenna out as quick as I could!
