Reply to myself. I recovered and had my first solo, solo flight today(no instructor present). I did good and my instructor (not present) was right about people will talk to you (at the airfield) if you if you can take off and land by yourself. I had one hard turnaround and chipped the prop but other than that I consider myself a true rookie now. It's amazing the people that will volunteer help if they see you can fly, but not if you have no clue.

The rebuild and recover job was way easier than I thought. I have to thank bigtim, johndou and jim dines for insiping me to rebuild this plane. Bigtim specifically, I was about to trash the Nexstar and it's now my primary plane again. The landing gear is a little bent but it still flys great after the rebuild. Thanks guys.

I'm getting the courage up to fly the Twist 150 solo quickly(I did with instructor present). If I can fly, and I can land, "go fly the twist" like my instructor told me. I have to thank my instructor the most who I found in Model Aviation magazine. He is the best instructor I could have hoped for. Thanks again Ray.
