Default Well,..............It finally happened

Had the nexstar out the other day, beautiful weather, 50 degrees out, (february heat wave!) But the sky was not blue or really cloudy, just kind of a high cirrus that was greyish white, took the nextstar up and flew nicely, got up above the horizon and it dissapeared! just blended into the sky so well that I could not see it at all, I throttled back and pulled a little up elevator hoping maybe I would get a reflection of the sun off the wing so I could maybe locate it again, well i got the reflection i was looking for,.......... inverted and heading for the ground fast! a little down elevator hoping i could pull an outside loop......................nope into the ground upside down at a high rate of speed. I picked up the plane with scoop shovel and a broom. the end of the nexstar, crap! Ordered a new plane today, the escapade, looks like a great plane at a great price! Will hopefully fly that until spring, then I will take up the decathlon. Note to self, NO MORE WHITE AIRPLANES!
