RE: The moment of truth
4 flights, 1 dead stick. Broken and repaired TX antenna. Airplane still in one piece, didn't even brake a prop!!
TX Antenna pulled apart (Tube pulled all the way out), had to stick it back together and tape it. I did a REAL long range check to be sure and flew it, all good!! They were right, I was ready to solo when they talked me into it..
It was even windy today, cross wind no less.. (Thats what finally chased us all away, wind was getting worse not better) When the experienced guys started packing up due to the wind I decided not to fall prey to "one more flight"
