Finally went back flying today after an almost 2 month layoff beacuse of Katrina and Rita I had just been let go in July so I was a little nervous to get back flying. No one was at field so I carefully put everything together and watched what I was doing safety wise. Had a little cross wind not too bad about 12 mph. I took off made a couple of circuts and made 2 landings not too bad so I calmed down. Decided to go up again so I fueled up and grabbed my transmitter thats when it hit me I had made the fist flight with the antenna collasped. Whew it could have been bad but as I said more luck then sense.
