Default CRASHED IT

well after building my p-51 pts and being so thrilled about how great it looked i went out a ran my first tank of gas thru it in my driveway started right up and ran great i went out to my field for its maiden flight upon take off it hooked to the right and when i went to recover it rolled over and crashed on its top hard tearing up the canopy, rudder , cowl ,tearing all fins off the engine head and breaking off the idle mixture screw! man its a awful feeling when that happens makes you want to quit! ive gotten confident with my nexstar and really enjoy flying it thought i was ready to move on to a low wing trainer but i was dead wrong!!!
