Default RE: Maiden flight Freedom 20

Yeah, the wings were really old, and worped like crazy, the plane always wanted a right bank even after a servo adjustment. I never could get the plane out of a shallow climb, so after a climb-fighting landing my nosewheel hit the ground relatively hard and nearly came apart, so I gave the engine full power, and there it was, a nice wing warped induced departure stall with about a 15-20 degree bank. The crash mainly crushed the nose and left the engine dangling from the firewall, in which my cousin and I rebuilt, but after one flight and landing in a cotton field, I decided to let the airplane still as a whole airplane rest for good, and hang in my room.
