Default RE: Crash of the Avistar

I was on my 25th flight last month with my avistar. I did a right turn (downwind) towards my self and the pits. The cross wind pushed it over too far over to me, and across being down wind, it lost altitude quickly. I accidently hit the left aileron trim and rolled it into the ground. Fuselage is a mess, engine (supertigre 40 is ok). The right wing has only some sheeting cracked, the left wing needs some work. I'll repair it and build a new fusealge for it.
