Default post pics of your trainer planes!

Here is my Alpha. I really like the plane. I work with a guy who wanted to "ease" into the sport, so he bought park flyer and ended up with an underpowered static display in his garage. My Alpha has enough power for me for the time being. I fly with the throttle just a little past half way, unless of course I'm taking off. Since this picture was taken, I had a hard landing. I was about four feet off the ground and she started to bank to the right. I wanted to correct to the left, but because I am dyslexic, I corrected "right", hit the wing, rolled her, and she ended up on her top. I did surprisingly little damage. I had to CA the back end of the fuselage and secure the tail section. I was real lucky, but they are very hardy planes. I also added the number 13 to the top of the horizontal stabilizer. I was born on the 13th of December. It seems to be a recurring number for me, not that I believe in bad luck....well, my ex-wife was born on a 13th also...
