Default RE: Trainer maiden flight (crash)

ply2win,
His words were "it won't steer". He did somehow manage to keep it from hitting a car. Couled've been much worse. Just another three inches of elevation and it would've cleared the table and might have landed safely in the field behind the pits. I never asked him if he lost all control or just rudder. I emailed him this morning to ask. All I did was pick the plane up and took it to the truck, while joking about not having to worry about it rolling around in the truck for the ride home.
