Ok so the maiden flight...lol.. I mean the maiden crash..Well I got this thing all put together and went over everything about 50 times..I taxied up and down the run way many many times..I have about 40 or so hours on the simulator.So after I fill this thing back up with fuel.Push on the throttle going down the runway.." I live in the middle of 25 acres" At the end of the runway i slowly pull back and it starts to lift off. "Man this thing looks go so far" I am about 50 or so feet off of the ground..I get a huge smile on my face all is going well...And then it takes a huge and fast nose dive straight into the ground..After I pick up all of the plane and the parts..I take it home and upon inspection I see that the plastic clip that goes from the pushrod to the elavator broke and I went straight to the ground..Had I came home and read the above comments first I would have done something different..So just a note..When it says ARF go over it about a 1000 times..lol
