I did what most on here predict.

I CRASHED[]

I was flying a pattern inverted and kept loosing altitude a little at a time. I decided to turn it over and made a choice to loop it out rather than roll it out. (Wrong choice) I didn't have enough altitude or airspeed to loop it out above the ground.

The worst part is I made the choice and it wasn't a split decision, just wrong.

The up side is that the worst of it was the landing gear, and about 3" of horizontal stab. I haven't looked it over very well so the engine mount may be broken, as the front gear was torn right out.

Not looking for condolences or pity. Just wanted to let the other newbies know that crashing is inevitable, if not likely if you do this long enough. And I have been doing it less than a year.

Got my solo, Maidened a scratch built, and crashed in just a couple months. I just wanted to be thorough.

Thanks for all the great advice,

Del
