Default RE: phoenix decathlon

I've been on hold for a while building the Decathlon.It was sunny in the 50's but the wind was 18 to 22.I flew the Dolphin and had no problems till about 5 ft. above the ground.A gust caught it and I couldnt recover.Broke the fuselage in half but other than that everything else o.k.I went with ply on the bottom and got it recovered yesterday.Should be better than new.To much confidence and not enough experience!Starting back on the Decathlon now.Thanks for all the info guys!!!
