Well I thought I could do it on my own too. Got my AMA license and contacted the local flying club to get permission to fly at their field. My first trip there I talked to a couple of pilots but I didn't bring my plane(mustang pts). Second trip I took my plane but no one was there. Instead of waiting for someone to show up, I thought I could do this. So I gassed her up and let her rip. On the third landing, I came in too hard and fast. Cracked the fusealage right in the middle. Today I ordered the arf version and will put all the stuff from the bird into this one. Will also reinforce the fuse. But the main thing is I learned my lesson. GET AN INSTRUCTOR!
