Good luck and good flying! What bird are ya maidening?
It was a slow stick! Well it still is, it's just shaped a little different now.

I tossed it at about 2/3's throttle. It was climbing way too fast. So naturally I panic and and grab the elevator control. Only problem is I pull "down" on the stick so now I'm doing loops. I totally freaked out at this point and crashed it. Part of the problem I think is I've been flying the Nextstar on the sim for too long. I usually steer with ailerons and not the rudder. Then I buy the SS and I have to steer with my left hand which I'm not at all used to doing. I had wondered if that would be a problem.

Anyway, I need a new wing, motor mount and lipo. The lipo was mounted behind the motor and got crushed a little bit on impact. I'm not going to use it anymore. As a matter of fact I left it in the field. I'll go back later to get it and see if it didn't explode.
