RE: maiden flight crash
did the same thing with my fw190 (global). those scale planes dont give much warning. i was coming in at a steep angle ( have to land like that in my backyard because thiers a spot where the wind slams planes into the ground) and once i got to the right height i slammed the elevator up and before i knew it it was upside down in a hay field. luckily the only damage was motor mount, canopy, and tail became unglued. put that thing on the shelf until my skill are a little better, i did fly it about 10 other times so i can handle it just not very comfortably. well, good luck
